Sterile Processing Account Specialist – Charlottesville, VA

Transform How Healthcare Runs Behind the Scenes

You’ve mastered sterile processing. You know what efficient trays, strong communication, and proactive problem-solving can do for an OR.

Now imagine using that expertise to support a dedicated hospital account with influencing workflow decisions, and being seen as the on-site expert - not just another set of hands on the schedule.

We’re hiring an experienced Sterile Processing Account Specialist to support a dedicated healthcare facility in the Charlottesville area. This is a clinical, field-based role designed for seasoned SPD professionals who want more ownership, visibility, and long-term career growth without leaving healthcare.


What You’ll Do

Own SPD Performance at the Account Level

• Partner daily with SPD, OR, materials, and leadership teams
• Serve as the on-site subject matter expert for tray readiness, utilization, and system performance
• Oversee tray setup, audits, tracking, and OR readiness
• Troubleshoot issues before they impact cases

Improve Efficiency, Not Just Process Trays

• Identify opportunities to reduce turnaround times, errors, and delays
• Support tray optimization, standardization, and redesign initiatives
• Monitor workflows and deliver real, actionable improvements

Educate, Support & Elevate Teams

• Lead hands-on training and in-services for SPD and OR teams
• Reinforce best practices, compliance, and quality standards
• Act as a trusted daily resource - not a rotating vendor

Build Long-Term Hospital Partnerships

• Develop strong working relationships with techs, supervisors, managers, and surgeons
• Track metrics tied to efficiency, utilization, and performance
• Support continuous improvement and customer satisfaction initiatives


Who Thrives in This Role

Required

• Deep understanding of instrumentation, trays, and SPD workflows
• Comfortable working hands-on in clinical environments
• Organized, reliable, proactive, and process-driven
• Strong communicator who earns trust on the floor
• Comfortable supporting a hospital account 

Ideal Backgrounds

• Senior SPD Tech, Lead Tech, Supervisor, Educator, or Manager
• Certified Surgical Technologist with strong instrumentation exposure
• OR Liaison or clinical support role
• Associate Medical Device Rep with strong hospital presence

Certifications & Education

• CRCST / CBSPD / CST strongly preferred
• Associate’s degree a plus, not required
• Experience with instrument tracking or quality systems is a bonus


Why Experienced SPD Professionals Choose This Path

• Your SPD knowledge is the core of the role
• You gain visibility, autonomy, and professional respect
• You influence hospital-wide operations, not just one department
• You stay clinical and hands-on - without traditional SPD shift work
• You build a long-term career path beyond the department
• You become a trusted partner, not just staffing support


Work Environment

• Dedicated hospital account 
• Mix of SPD, OR, and clinical support environments
• Standing, walking, and lifting trays/equipment required
• Schedule aligned to hospital operations (some flexibility may be needed)
