Inside the September editions
- The best-paid director job in the GPO world isn't at a GPO. It out-earns a GPO sourcing director by about half at the median posted base. Career Edition, Section 2
- One employer posted a third of all open roles, and GPOs post more technology jobs than sourcing jobs. Market Edition, Sections 1–3
- One of the largest GPOs has kept the pay floors from its 2021–23 job ads. Its ceilings rose 17–19%, so the room to negotiate is in the upper half of each range. Market Edition, Section 4
- 30 open roles worth a look, 24 with posted pay, at GPOs, suppliers and health systems. Career Edition, Section 3
- The month's moves: Yankee Alliance's wind-down and Pandion's purchase of its non-acute business, new C-suite leaders at Premier, and new supply chain chiefs at three health systems. Market Edition, Sections 5–7 and 11
