Serve as the face of Katzman Produce in all vendor and shipper interactions, both on-site and off-site.
Set clear expectations with vendors regarding pricing, product quality, shipping timelines, and billing practices.
Sales Team Partnership
Act as a strategic partner to the Sales team by:
Providing current product costs, market insights, and vendor/grower expectations.
Supporting daily sales goals through inventory management and price guidance.
Monitoring daily sales reports to course-correct underperforming items or mispriced products.
Supporting the arrangement of promotional/Ad pricing for select customers and communicating changes accordingly.
Team Leadership
Serve as a leader and point of contact within the category team, overseeing Buyer Assistants and supporting department salespeople.
Delegate clerical tasks, order maintenance, and PO tracking to Buyer Assistants while ensuring accuracy and responsiveness to shippers/vendors.
Coach and guide team members on best practices, internal communication, and timely follow-up.
