HELP BUILD WHAT’S NEXT IN BLOOD COLLECTION

PlasmaSource is opening a new blood donation center in Saratoga Springs, Utah, and we’re looking for a Center Operations Manager to help lead this exciting launch. As an emerging business line within Vitalant, PlasmaSource combines the energy of a growing organization with the resources and experience of an established one.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

The Center Operations Manager will play a critical role in launching and leading PlasmaSource’s new Saratoga Springs center. This is more than managing daily operations-it’s an opportunity to build a high-performing team, shape culture from Day One, and establish an exceptional donor experience while driving service, quality, operational, and financial results. Working across operations, training, quality, regulatory, and marketing, you’ll help create a safe, efficient, and innovative center that sets the standard for what’s next in plasma and blood collection.

Deliver an Exceptional Donor Experience

· At PlasmaSource, the experience matters. You’ll help create a center where donors feel welcomed, respected, informed, and valued.

· Ensure consistently high levels of customer service throughout the collection process.

· Build rapport with donors and support satisfaction and retention.

· Address donor concerns and complaints professionally and effectively.

· Use feedback and operational insights to identify opportunities to improve the donor experience.

Champion Quality, Safety, and Compliance

· Ensure all activities comply with applicable regulations, internal SOPs, and defined policies and procedures.

· Maintain a strong culture of quality, safety, and compliance.

· Identify and escalate compliance issues appropriately.

· Partner with Quality and Regulatory teams to address audit findings and other deficiencies.

· Collaborate with Training and Quality to ensure center training and quality objectives are met.

Help Grow the Saratoga Springs Market

· Partner with Marketing to support donor recruitment, community outreach, and engagement strategies.

· Promote awareness of PlasmaSource and the impact of donation.

· Monitor outreach activities and adjust strategies based on results and community response.

· Build relationships that establish PlasmaSource as a trusted part of the Saratoga Springs community.

WHAT YOU BRING

We’re looking for an experienced healthcare leader who knows how to build strong teams, manage complex operations, and create an environment where people and performance can thrive.

Education

· Bachelor’s degree in a directly related field OR an equivalent combination of education and experience

Experience

· Five years of healthcare experience to include recent experience performing apheresis blood collection.

WHY PLASMASOURCE?

Founding-team opportunities don’t come along often.

At PlasmaSource, you won’t simply step into an established operation-you’ll help build it. You’ll have the opportunity to shape culture from Day One, develop people, influence how we operate, and contribute to a modern, technology-enabled healthcare environment.

You’ll also have exposure to career pathways across operations, quality, training, and business leadership, with the support and resources of Vitalant behind you.

THE IMPACT IS REAL

PlasmaSource exists because patients depend on plasma. Every day, our teams help connect donors to the plasma therapies patients need.

As Center Operations Manager, your leadership will influence more than center performance. You’ll help create an environment where employees can do meaningful work, donors feel valued, and every donation can contribute to improving lives.

BUILD THE TEAM. SHAPE THE CULTURE. IMPROVE LIVES.
