Generate quote comparisons and contribute to internal supplier selection based on pricing, terms, and overall value.
Manage the end-to-end purchase requisition-to-order process, including price negotiations and documentation.
Serve as the primary liaison for vendors, tracking order status, resolving delivery discrepancies, and managing returns (RMA).
Coordinate cross-functionally with warehouse operations to ensure procurement plans support current and projected demand requirements.
Analyze spending patterns to recommend and implement cost-saving opportunities.
Drive process enhancements through data-driven analysis and best-practice implementation.
Perform other duties as assigned.

Demonstrated success achieving year-over-year cost savings through vendor negotiations.
Sound time-management and organizational skills.
Team player in a global and diverse work environment.
Ability to proactively anticipate disruptions or challenges and adapt to situations as needed.

Preferred:

Master’s degree in Supply Chain or a similar field.
Proficiency with SAP and SAP S/4HANA.
