The Opportunity

As a Senior Buyer, you will manage the purchasing of raw materials, components, and turnkey products. You will create and maintain vendor relationships – including the purchasing and production processes – searching for savings in materials, processes, and shipping to decrease the cost of goods and enable a greater profit margin.

What You’ll Do

Procurement Strategy

• Work with demand planning and markets to determine adequate stock levels of individual products without creating high exposure to overstock and expiration waste.
• Generate and manage Purchase Orders and the production of the product.
• Craft POs that leverage the MOQs required while also decreasing cost per unit, and staggering production to help with storage, expiration, and shipping costs.
• Work with vendors/suppliers to obtain quotes, negotiate price and payment terms.
  
  

Production Quality Assurance

• Ensure that the product being purchased has updated specifications and artwork.
• Work with Quality Control and Vendor to address manufacturing processes that may produce undesired outcomes.
• When a failure of the product is found by Quality, work with Vendor to come up with a plan to pick up the product, address the problem with the production, and then put a process in place to avoid the error from repeating.
  
  

BOM Management

• Regularly update and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) to ensure they accurately reflect current product specifications, materials, and production requirements.
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to implement changes efficiently.
  
  

Market Expansion

• Work with the executive team to determine the best course of action to introduce products to new markets without creating waste or exposure.
• Determine with Regulatory, Operations management, and markets the viability of market-specific packaging or if existing product with over-labeling can be used until the market becomes self-sustaining.
• Determine the most cost-effective way to get the product to a new market without incurring exorbitant shipping costs.
  
  

Other Duties As Assigned

What We’re Looking For:

• High School diploma required; Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Finance or relevant field preferred.
• Experience in supply chain distribution and manufacturing.
• Proven experience in supply chain management, inventory control, purchasing, and production planning.
• Proficiency in spreadsheet software and supply chain management tools such as Oracle and Netstock.
  
  

We Love Candidates Who Have

• Strong focus on quality assurance and continuous process improvements to enhance operational efficiency.
• Excellent negotiation skills on cost of goods, MOQs, contracts, and production schedules. Strategic planning and execution to maximize efficiency and reduce costs.
• Proficient in analyzing financial data to make informed decisions on cost savings initiatives. Utilization of Netstock to predict sales and demand while ensuring data accuracy.
• Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate with other departments and vendors, ensuring the best outcomes for production and quality.
• Friendly but firm in negotiating terms on cost, payment, production, and conflict resolution.
• Ability to adapt and find solutions to protect timelines, bottom lines, and product fidelity.
• Experience in updating and maintaining spec sheets and ERP systems.
