What Matters at Magid? YOU do!

"The number one key to growth is having good people and that’s what has driven us at every stage of the game." - Greg Cohen, CEO

At Magid, we’re not just passionate about safety—we’re passionate about people. As an industry leader, we’ve built an innovative and collaborative environment where diversity is celebrated, ideas are valued, and personal and professional growth never stops.

Job Summary:

The Import Purchasing Specialist manages international purchase orders from placement through delivery, ensuring timely supply, accurate system data, and alignment with inventory plans. This role serves as the primary supplier contact, leading negotiations on pricing and lead times while monitoring performance and driving improvements. Working cross-functionally with Planning, Logistics, QA, Finance, and Warehouse teams, the specialist resolves supply issues, supports urgent demand needs, and mitigates risks. The role also ensures vendor compliance, maintains accurate purchasing data, and supports product transitions to enable consistent and efficient supply chain execution.

Essential Responsibilities:

Place, track, and manage purchase orders from creation through delivery
Monitor in-route inventory and ensure alignment with system data
Resolve discrepancies related to shipments, quantities, and delivery timing
Support urgent demand needs through expediting and air freight arrangements in partnership with Planning
Lead supplier negotiations to control pricing (FOB, LPP) and achieve cost targets
Negotiate and manage supplier lead times to support inventory and service goals
Own supplier communication regarding orders, production schedules, and issue resolution
Drive continuous improvement with suppliers on cost, lead time, and reliability
Monitor and manage vendor KPI scorecards (on-time delivery, quality, responsiveness)
Support vendor compliance requirements (e.g., CTPAT) and risk management initiatives
Identify and escalate vendor risks that may impact supply continuity
Support product transitions (new styles, vendor changes, phase-in/phase-out) from a supply execution standpoint
Partner with Planning on low inventory reviews and take action to mitigate supply gaps
Align ordering and shipment decisions with planning strategy
Work closely with QA, Logistics, GPS, Finance, and Warehouse on all vendor-related activities and issue resolution
Serve as the key contact for supplier-related communication across departments
Collaborate with external partners (for example MDM, Tytan) on order inquiries and execution
Maintain accurate data in systems (AS400, cost sheets, PO details)
Manage key system activities including Estimated Ship Date updates (64 screen) and related monthly processes
Ensure purchase orders and vendor information reflect the most current and correct data

Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience
3+ years of experience in Supply Chain Management
Strong purchase order management and supply chain execution skills
Supplier negotiation expertise (pricing, freight terms, lead times)
Knowledge of international trade and import processes (e.g., FOB, compliance requirements)
Ability to track and manage in-transit inventory and resolve discrepancies
Data accuracy and system management experience (ERP systems such as AS400 or similar)
Analytical skills to monitor KPIs, identify trends, and drive improvements
Risk assessment and problem-solving capabilities in a fast-paced environment
Effective communication and relationship management with global suppliers
Cross-functional collaboration with Planning, Logistics, QA, Finance, and Operations teams
Ability to prioritize and manage urgent requests, including expediting and air freight coordination
Attention to detail and strong organizational skills
Continuous improvement mindset focused on cost, service, and reliability
