Buyer, Supply Chain​/Logistics

We are seeking a proactive Buyer who will source, negotiate, and manage the acquisition of goods and services—ranging from raw materials to equipment and supplies—to support operations, control costs, and ensure on‑time delivery. This role balances supplier relationship management with data‑driven decision‑making to deliver reliable, cost‑effective procurement outcomes.

You will join the Procurement & Supply Chain team, a cross‑functional group partnering with Operations, Quality, Finance, and Engineering to secure materials and services that enable uninterrupted production and continual improvement. The team values collaboration, supplier transparency, and measurable cost savings.

• Negotiate contracts and pricing with suppliers to secure high‑quality goods and services while delivering measurable cost savings and favorable terms.
• Build and maintain strategic supplier relationships that increase reliability, drive innovation, and mitigate supply risk.
• Partner with internal stakeholders to align procurement strategies with production schedules, quality standards, and budget objectives.
• Analyze market data and supplier proposals to recommend purchasing strategies that balance cost, lead time, and quality.
• Maintain accurate procurement records and reporting to support decision‑making, compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Lead or contribute to procurement process improvements that increase efficiency, transparency, and supplier performance.

• Bachelor’s degree from a four‑year college or university (e.g., Business, Supply Chain, Finance, Engineering) or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 1–5 years of relevant procurement, purchasing, or sourcing experience.
• Demonstrated ability to read, analyze, and interpret business materials, supplier proposals, and regulatory guidance.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to prepare reports and present information to managers, clients, and vendors.
• Comfortable performing quantitative calculations (discounts, percentages, basic algebra) and applying practical problem‑solving with limited standardization.

• Experience with ERP/procurement systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Coupa) and purchasing workflows.
• Professional certification such as CPPB, CPSM, or equivalent.
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, data analysis).
• Prior experience procuring raw materials or manufacturing equipment.
• Track record of leading supplier negotiations that produced measurable cost savings or service improvements.
