Maintain accurate records of stockout status, supplier delivery commitments, and expected resolution dates, escalating high-priority situations to the Purchasing Supervisor with full supply context.
Identify recurring stockout trends and present root cause findings and recommend corrective actions to the Purchasing Supervisor.

Supplier Communication

Engage suppliers to obtain delivery updates, pricing confirmations, and order status information, ensuring purchase order records remain accurate and current.
Proactively communicate supplier issues including lead time changes, product obsolescence, and pricing variances to internal stakeholders.
Respond to internal inquiries regarding delivery status, order status, pricing, and cancellation requests in a timely and complete manner.

Cross-Functional Coordination

Collaborate with Sales, Inventory, and Operations teams to evaluate demand signals, support purchasing decisions, and ensure procurement activity aligns with customer commitments.
Communicate delivery updates, supply constraints, and order status changes to internal stakeholders to support informed decision-making.
Participate in team meetings and contribute to company initiatives and special projects as assigned.
