Full Job Description

Category Buyer – Perishables

Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
Full-Time | Starting at $75,000/year DOE
On-Site with Opportunity for Hybrid Flexibility

Applicants must currently reside on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi to be considered.

Who We Are

At Hawaii Foodservice Alliance (HFA), we are Hawaiʻi’s largest locally owned supplier of perishable foods and logistics, serving grocers, retailers, and communities across the islands.

We are looking for an experienced Category Buyer – Perishables to manage purchasing and inventory for high-volume perishable categories, including dairy, eggs, refrigerated products, and other assigned items.

About the Role

This is a hands-on buying and replenishment role responsible for making daily purchasing decisions based on sales trends, inventory levels, product movement, forecasts, and supply chain timing.

As a Category Buyer, you will own purchasing and replenishment decisions for assigned product categories. You will review inventory, place and manage purchase orders, monitor product performance, and adjust buying decisions to maintain product availability while minimizing excess inventory and spoilage.

Direct buying experience is required for this position. Candidates should have experience personally managing purchase orders and making decisions around order quantities, timing, and inventory needs.

This is not an entry-level procurement, purchasing support, or inventory-only position.

What You'll Do

Manage purchasing and replenishment for assigned perishable product categories
Generate, place, and manage purchase orders based on sales history, inventory levels, forecasts, product movement, and lead times
Review inventory and make daily ordering and replenishment decisions
Determine appropriate order quantities and timing based on demand and inventory needs
Maintain appropriate inventory levels while balancing product availability, shelf life, and spoilage risk
Monitor slow-moving, aging, short-dated, and excess inventory and take action to reduce product loss
Analyze sales trends, purchasing history, inventory turns, and product performance
Adjust purchasing decisions based on demand changes, promotions, vendor availability, and supply chain timing
Identify potential out-of-stocks, shortages, and inventory risks before they impact operations
Communicate directly with vendors regarding product availability, purchase orders, and delivery expectations
Partner with Warehouse, Transportation, Sales, and Operations teams to resolve inventory and product flow issues
Support promotional planning and inventory allocation

What We're Looking For

3+ years of direct buying or purchasing experience
Experience personally managing purchase orders and making purchasing decisions
Experience determining order quantities and replenishment needs
Experience managing inventory levels and product movement
Strong analytical skills with the ability to use sales and inventory data to make purchasing decisions
Experience identifying inventory shortages, excess inventory, and changes in demand
Strong Excel and reporting skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities and make timely decisions in a fast-paced environment
Strong vendor communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

Candidates whose experience is primarily inventory control, purchasing administration, procurement support, or demand planning without direct purchasing responsibility may not meet the requirements of this role.

Preferred Experience

Food distribution, dairy, refrigerated, or other perishable product experience
Experience managing products with expiration dates or limited shelf-life windows
Forecasting or replenishment planning experience
Wholesale, retail, food distribution, or consumer packaged goods experience
Experience monitoring inventory turns, service levels, spoilage, shrink, or aging inventory

Relevant Experience May Include

Buyer, Category Buyer, Purchasing Buyer, Replenishment Buyer, Perishable Buyer, or similar roles involving direct purchasing and inventory decision-making.

Why Join HFA

Starting at $75,000 per year DOE
Free healthcare coverage for Team Members
Partial subsidy for family medical coverage
401(k) with company match
Paid Time Off and holidays
Weekly pay every Friday
Monthly bus and rail reimbursement through the HOLO Card
Employee Assistance Program
Financial wellness and leadership development programs
Employee discounts including gym memberships, pet insurance, and legal assistance plans
Long-term growth opportunities within Purchasing, Category Management, and Supply Chain Operations

Your purchasing decisions directly impact product availability across Hawaiʻi. If you have direct buying experience and enjoy using data to make inventory and purchasing decisions, we encourage you to apply and grow with HFA.

HFA is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
