Position Overview

A confidential aerospace and defense manufacturer is seeking an experienced Senior Buyer to support procurement and strategic-sourcing activities for technically complex manufacturing programs. This opportunity is ideal for a purchasing professional with experience supporting manufacturing operations who is ready to take greater ownership of supplier relationships, negotiations, cost-reduction initiatives, material availability, and purchasing strategy. The Senior Buyer will manage the complete procurement cycle for assigned materials, components, subassemblies, and design-to-specification products while partnering closely with Engineering, Quality, Production, Planning, and Logistics.

Key Responsibilities

Manage sourcing and purchasing activities for assigned materials, components, and subassemblies.
Identify, evaluate, qualify, and develop suppliers.
Prepare and issue requests for quotation and evaluate supplier proposals.
Negotiate pricing, payment terms, lead times, and commercial conditions.
Generate and manage purchase orders from placement through delivery.
Track open orders and address shortages, delays, and supplier issues.
Support measurable cost-reduction and cost-avoidance initiatives.
Monitor supplier performance related to quality, delivery, cost, and responsiveness.
Partner with Engineering and Quality on technical requirements and supplier corrective actions.
Support inventory optimization while reducing excess and obsolete materials.
Maintain accurate purchasing documentation for audits and reporting.
Follow applicable aerospace, defense, import/export, and government-contract requirements.
Provide guidance and support to junior purchasing-team members.

Required Qualifications

Five or more years of procurement, purchasing, sourcing, or supply-chain experience.
Experience supporting a manufacturing or production environment.
Strong supplier-negotiation and relationship-management skills.
Experience purchasing technical materials, components, subassemblies, or engineered products.
Proven ability to identify cost savings and improve commercial terms.
Experience managing RFQs, purchase orders, lead times, and supplier delivery commitments.
Familiarity with ERP or MRP systems.
Strong analytical, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work onsite within the Columbus, Mississippi area.

Preferred Qualifications

Aerospace, defense, aviation, military, or government-contract manufacturing experience.
Knowledge of ITAR, FAR, or DFARS requirements.
Experience with SAP, Oracle, or a comparable ERP platform.
Experience purchasing electronics, sensors, machined components, aerospace materials, or technical subassemblies.
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
CPSM, CPIM, CSCP, APICS, or ISM certification.
Experience mentoring or training junior buyers.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Support specialized aerospace and defense programs.
Take ownership of important supplier relationships.
Work directly with Engineering, Quality, and Production.
Lead sourcing and cost-reduction initiatives.
Build deeper experience within a highly regulated industry.
Make a visible impact on cost, quality, delivery, and production performance.

Candidates from aerospace, defense, aviation, electronics, automotive, medical-device, precision-manufacturing, and other regulated manufacturing environments are encouraged to apply.
