We're looking for a Food Buyer who thrives in a fast-paced food distribution environment and enjoys making smart purchasing decisions that keep customers happy and shelves stocked.

Partnering with Sales, Operations, Receiving, and Warehouse teams to communicate product availability and substitutions.
Helping protect inventory turns while minimizing out-of-stocks and excess inventory.
Supporting purchasing projects and assisting teammates whenever needed.

Experience supporting Sales and Customer Service teams

Why You'll Love Working Here

We offer:

Competitive compensation
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
