Senior Buyer
We're searching for Senior Buyer to help lead procurement for a global, hands‑on supply chain. You'll work directly with the Director of Supply Chain, handling day‑to‑day buying with real input on where the supply base goes next.
What You'll Do
- Manage purchasing across a portfolio of 400+ active part numbers, balancing high-volume transactional buys with more strategic, engineered components
- Source and purchase components and materials from a mix of domestic and international suppliers, including active sourcing relationships in China
- Identify, vet, and onboard new suppliers to strengthen and diversify the existing supply base
- Negotiate contract terms with suppliers beyond standard purchase orders, including payment terms, delivery schedules, and pricing
- Manage vendor performance and resolve quality, delivery, or service issues as they come up
- Support make-versus-buy evaluations, weighing in‑house production against outsourcing options
- Track and manage purchasing activity inside an ERP system, contributing to inventory and planning processes
- Partner with the Director of Supply Chain on sourcing strategy and supplier diversification, contributing to the plan rather than owning it solo
- Factor tariffs, duties, and international shipping considerations into sourcing decisions
- Build or contribute to tools and dashboards that improve visibility into purchasing and supply chain data
What You Bring
- 6+ years of purchasing or procurement experience in a bill‑of‑materials‑based manufacturing environment; 10+ years preferred
- Experience sourcing internationally, ideally including direct experience with China, Japan, Germany, etc.
- Vendor management and contract negotiation experience that goes beyond routine purchase‑order processing
- Experience with SAP or a comparable large ERP system
- Familiarity with inventory and planning KPIs such as Days Inventory Outstanding a plus
- Strong Excel skills; exposure to Python, Power BI, Tableau, or other data visualization and scripting tools a plus
