About the Role

We are a growing broadline foodservice distributor with three distribution centers, and we are looking for a sharp, analytical Buyer to join our purchasing team.

A growing company with opportunity for career advancement

Key Responsibilities

Inventory & Replenishment Management

Manage daily purchasing and replenishment across a high-SKU, multi-category product portfolio spanning three distribution centers
Execute purchase orders to maintain strong fill rates while minimizing excess inventory, aging product, and spoilage
Monitor key inventory metrics including turns, days-on-hand, shorts, shrink, and service levels
Respond rapidly to supply disruptions, substitutions, and vendor constraints with minimal impact to service

Demand Planning & Forecasting

Analyze sales trends, seasonal patterns, and new business initiatives to build accurate short- and long-term demand forecasts
Collaborate with Category Managers and the Sales team to align inventory positions with customer demand, promotions, and new item launches
Identify slow-moving and at-risk inventory and develop action plans to reduce exposure

Vendor Management & Negotiation

Build and maintain strong vendor relationships to improve service levels and gain priority access during supply constraints
Hold vendors accountable to fill rate, delivery, and quality commitments — escalating issues as needed
Evaluate vendor performance using data and recommend changes to sourcing strategy when appropriate

Data, Systems & Reporting

Maintain accurate item master data, cost records, and vendor information in our ERP/purchasing system
Generate and analyze inventory and purchasing reports to support operational and financial decision-making
Support category margin analysis and cost modeling as needed

Required Qualifications

3–5 years of purchasing, replenishment, or inventory management experience in broadline foodservice distribution, food manufacturing, or high-volume wholesale distribution
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel — must be comfortable with pivot tables, data analysis, and building reports from scratch
Experience with AS400 or similar system
Data-driven mindset
Ability to juggle multiple priorities and make fast, accurate decisions in a time-sensitive environment
Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and vendor negotiations
Must be available to work on-site 5 days per week

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Operations, or a related field — or equivalent work experience
Familiarity with JIT (just-in-time) supply models and produce or perishable inventory management
Build and maintain Excel-based tools (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, dashboards) to track KPIs and surface actionable insights
Experience working across multiple distribution centers or warehouse locations
Prior exposure to category management, vendor cost modeling, or procurement analytics
