Are you the kind of person who gets a little too excited about lead times, supplier negotiations, inventory turns, and finding a better way to do things?
Do you love solving supply chain puzzles before anyone else even knows there's a problem?
If your answer is "yes," keep reading.
We're looking for a Senior Buyer to become a key member of our team. In this role, you'll be part strategist, part analyst, part negotiator, and part firefighter. You'll help ensure our manufacturing operations have exactly what they need, when they need it, at the best possible cost.
No two days are the same. One minute you're negotiating pricing with a supplier, the next you're analyzing inventory trends, helping resolve a production issue, leading a cost-reduction initiative, or coaching a new buyer.
If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoy making a tangible impact on the business every day, we'd love to meet you.
✅ Managing supplier relationships and sourcing materials that keep production running smoothly.
✅ Negotiating pricing, lead times, contracts, and service agreements.
✅ Staying one step ahead of inventory needs by analyzing demand, forecasts, and production schedules.
✅ Working closely with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Finance, and Customer Service teams.
✅ Leading cost-reduction and continuous improvement initiatives without sacrificing quality or service.
✅ Troubleshooting shortages, delays, and supplier challenges before they become customer problems.
✅ Creating and improving purchasing processes, SOPs, and best practices.
✅ Helping train and mentor new buyers and serving as a go-to resource for the purchasing team.
✅ Driving supplier performance in quality, delivery, responsiveness, and cost competitiveness.
✅ Turning data into decisions through reporting, forecasting, and inventory analysis.
You might be our ideal candidate if you:
⭐ Experience with JD Edwards, QAD, or similar ERP systems
⭐ Purchasing or Supply Chain certifications (CPP, CPSM, APICS, etc.)
⭐ Experience creating cost models or conducting sourcing analyses
⭐ SQL or database skills
⭐ Spanish language skills
You don't just place purchase orders.
You identify risks before they happen.
You strengthen supplier relationships.
You improve processes.
You reduce costs.
You improve service levels.
You help the business grow.
Most importantly, you make sure our customers get what they need when they need it.
Join us and help turn great planning, strong supplier partnerships, and smart purchasing decisions into exceptional customer experiences.
Apply today and become the supply chain superhero behind the scenes. 🚀📦📈
