Field Inventory Specialist
Since 2013, Arthrex Indianapolis has represented Arthrex—the most innovative name in orthopedics and the standard-bearer for cadaveric, hands-on surgical training. We're just over 70 people, headquartered in Indianapolis with additional offices in South Bend and Evansville. Alongside the medical education and instructional courses we host at our state-of-the-art training facility, we're here to grow the Arthrex brand through close, collaborative relationships with our customers and Sales Representatives.
About The Role
As our Field Inventory Specialist, you'll keep product moving across our territory. You'll organize and maintain inventory in the warehouse, transfer it between locations (South Bend, Evansville, and Fort Wayne) in a company vehicle, fulfill inventory requests tied to upcoming surgical cases, and audit product at every territory site. This role reports to our Director of Inventory & Billing.
You're dependable, high-energy, and at your best when you're on the move. You work well independently, solve problems on the fly, and take real satisfaction in getting the right product to the right place at the right time. You keep a clean, organized workspace, communicate with urgency, and understand that our Sales team—and the surgeons they support—are counting on your accuracy. You're adaptable, customer-focused, and ready to be on the road at least three days a week.
