  • Operational Procurement: Use ERP systems to process and manage purchase orders, ensuring transactions are completed accurately, on time, and in accordance with established policies.

  • Performance Reporting: Create and maintain reports that track spend, supplier performance, and savings opportunities, translating insights into actionable recommendations.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build relationships across departments to align procurement activities with broader business needs. Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute ideas that strengthen processes and teamwork.

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED required; bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, or related field preferred.

  • 2–4 years of procurement experience, ideally within indirect categories.

  • Proven ability to negotiate contracts and manage supplier relationships effectively.

  • Strong analytical and research skills with experience interpreting market and cost data.

  • Proficiency with procurement systems (ERP platforms such as Oracle) and Microsoft Office Suite.

  • Excellent communication, organization, and collaboration skills.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.

What You’ll Gain

  • Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.

  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, retirement, and paid time off programs.

  • Tuition reimbursement and professional development opportunities to support career growth.

  • A supportive, team-oriented culture that values transparency, trust, and shared success.

    Compensation target $80,000 base compensation with a 7% bonus. Benefits additional to the above are medical, dental and vision coverage.
