Buyer

Description:

Manufacturing | Supply Chain | Procurement

If you like owning supplier relationships, negotiating real value, and making sure production never waits on parts — this role’s for you. We’re looking for a Buyer who knows manufacturing, thinks ahead, and isn’t afraid to push for better cost, quality, and delivery.

What You’ll Do (Day to Day)

- Source, evaluate, and onboard suppliers that can meet our quality, cost, and delivery standards

- Negotiate pricing, contracts, and terms to drive value — not just savings on paper

- Monitor supplier performance and step in fast when quality, cost, or delivery slip

- Partner closely with Production, Engineering, and Quality to ensure materials meet specs and timelines

- Manage inventory levels to support manufacturing without overstocking

- Research markets, materials, and suppliers to stay ahead of risk and opportunity

- Build and present procurement reports and insights to leadership

- Ensure purchasing activities align with company policies and ethical standards

- Support procurement strategies and continuous improvement initiatives

Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, or a related field (preferred, not precious)

- 2–4 years of buying or procurement experience, ideally in manufacturing

- Exposure to global sourcing and international trade regulations is a plus

- Strong grasp of procurement fundamentals and supplier management

- Confident negotiator with solid contract management skills

- Comfortable working in ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar)

- Analytical thinker who solves problems instead of escalating them

- Clear communicator who works well across functions

- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple priorities

Work Environment

- Office-based with regular computer work

- Ability to lift up to 15 lbs with or without assistance

- Access to manufacturing and warehouse areas as needed

- Occasional travel may be required
