This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable working in systems, reviewing data, following through with vendors, and balancing multiple priorities throughout the day. The right candidate does not need years of buying experience but should bring strong ownership, accuracy, communication, and a genuine interest in building a career in purchasing, supply chain, or inventory management.

The Buyer will create and manage purchase orders, monitor inventory levels, track open orders, follow up with vendors, and help resolve order, receiving, and invoice issues. This is a hands-on role that requires accuracy, urgency, documentation, and consistent follow-through.

Important Note for Applicants

This role may not be the right fit for someone looking for a slow-paced desk job, a mostly administrative role, or a position with minimal follow-up.
