About Sunrise Group
Sunrise Group is building the future of sleep health by combining breakthrough technology with expert care. We started in 2015 with a straightforward idea: sleep diagnosis should happen in the comfort of your own home, not in a hospital. To make that possible, we created a first-of-its-kind chin sensor, carefully validated through clinical research, reviewed by leading sleep experts, and cleared by the FDA.
Since then, Sunrise Group has grown from a single innovation into a complete sleep health company. We now design advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions, and we deliver care directly to patients through Dreem Health, our digital sleep clinic. By serving patients in all 50 states with reimbursed care, we are making sleep treatment more accessible, more personal, and much simpler than it has ever been.
The Supply Chain & Procurement Manager is responsible for establishing and controlling the flow of materials, components and finished devices across Sunrise's manufacturing operations and Dreem Health's clinic operations. This encompasses procurement and supplier management for raw materials and components used in manufacturing our medical devices at our Belgium production site; production/supply planning to keep manufacturing output aligned with demand; inventory planning and stock-cost optimization for HST and PAP devices and accessories; logistics and shipping-cost management for customer orders sold internationally across the EU, UK, US and Australia; and management of third-party logistics (3PL) providers in the US, where Dreem Health's clinic volume is concentrated.
The role requires coordinating closely with Manufacturing, Quality/Regulatory, Finance and Dreem Health's clinical operations team to keep material and device availability, cost, and compliance aligned as the business scales across markets.
This is a hybrid-role based in Belgium with the expectation of up to 2 days per week working in the office in Namur.
