Coordinate purchases from market vendors and ensure vendor performance aligns with company standards.
Deliver exceptional service to internal and external partners while maintaining positive vendor relationships.

Success in this role includes:

Becoming proficient in the company ERP system within the first 90 days.
Achieving 98% or greater product allocation and fulfillment rates.
Maintaining product loss at or below 2%.
Supporting sales growth through strategic floral purchasing and inventory management.

What You Bring

3–5 years of experience in floral buying, purchasing, procurement, supply chain, or inventory management.
Strong negotiation and vendor management skills.
Experience with forecasting, inventory systems, and order management.
Understanding of landed costs, margins, and supply chain efficiencies.
Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving abilities.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and general computer systems.
Ability to analyze reports and make data-driven purchasing decisions.
Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate across departments.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in the fresh floral, horticulture, agriculture, or perishable goods industry strongly preferred.
