Who We Are

We are changing the norm by being customer-focused, technology-led. viaPhoton is reimagining fiber optic manufacturing for the AI era. We design and deliver custom-engineered, end-to-end fiber connectivity solutions for the data centers, 5G networks, and AI infrastructure shaping the next decade, and our customers need them in weeks, not months. In five years we've grown to a team of 200+ and 4x'd our revenue in the last year alone, and we're just getting started. We're looking for people who want to do their best work with a team that's moving fast.

About the Role

If you're organized, detail-oriented, and like managing multiple priorities at once, this role gives you real scope. As a Buyer, you'll own the end-to-end purchasing process, from creating purchase orders to building strong supplier relationships. Your work directly shapes how smoothly our operations run and how cost-effectively we source the materials that power our fiber optic products.

Create, issue, and track purchase orders based on departmental needs, with accuracy in quantities, pricing, and delivery timelines
Review and process purchase requisitions from internal departments, confirming specifications before order placement
Monitor open purchase orders from placement through receipt, proactively identifying and resolving delays or discrepancies
Maintain daily contact with suppliers to confirm orders, negotiate pricing, and keep on-time delivery commitments
Update and maintain accurate records in the ERP system, including pricing, lead times, item specifications, and vendor information
Coordinate with warehouse and receiving teams to reconcile deliveries and address shortages or damages promptly

What You'll Bring

Have 1 to 3 years of purchasing, procurement, or supply chain experience (a plus, but not required)
Are familiar with ERP systems like NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle, with careful attention to detail
Communicate clearly in writing and verbally with vendors and cross-functional teammates
Are proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel for tracking and reporting
Can identify discrepancies, escalate issues appropriately, and resolve them promptly
Work well across teams with warehouse, finance, and operations
