The Associate Buyer/Planner supports all purchasing and material planning activities at the North Billerica facility, ensuring material availability aligns with production schedules and customer delivery commitments.

This role is primarily purchasing-focused (approximately 70%) with responsibility for executing material requirements planning within BEAS (SAP Business One) and supporting production planning activities (approximately 30%).

Reporting to the Site General Manager with corporate supply chain support, this role runs MRP in BEAS, manages purchase order execution, monitors shortages, and partners cross-functionally with Production, Engineering, Quality, and Corporate Supply Chain to ensure operational continuity.

The culture is driven by three core pillars: Dream Big, Have Fun, and Get Stuff Done (GSD). We believe how we treat people is as important as how we perform. We operate in a high-accountability, high-recognition environment where team members are empowered to grow and take ownership. This role reflects the ACE principles — Accountability, Collaboration, and Empowerment — by ensuring material readiness, supplier performance, and system accuracy directly support operational success.

MRP & Planning Support (BEAS System Ownership)

Execute and review MRP runs within BEAS (SAP Business One) for the North Billerica site.
Analyze system-generated recommendations including planned orders, shortages, and exception messages.
Identify material constraints and communicate risks proactively.
Coordinate with Production regarding material availability and schedule impact.
Support work order release readiness by validating material availability in BEAS.
Maintain accurate planning parameters including lead times, reorder points, safety stock, and vendor data.
Escalate material risks to corporate Planner and Director of Supply Chain when required.
Support backlog alignment and on-time delivery performance.
