Reporting to the VP of Operations, this role requires a quick-thinking, hands-on professional adept at managing inventory levels, vendor relations, and the purchasing cycle for over 600 parts across 50-75 vendors. The Buyer will work on-site to ensure inventory accuracy, negotiate effectively, and perform cycle counts regularly.

Key Responsibilities

  • Purchasing and Vendor Management: Maintain and manage relationships with 50-75 vendors, sourcing and purchasing 600+ parts with a focus on speed and cost-effectiveness.

  • System Utilization: Work within ERP system ODOO to track and manage purchases and inventory data.
  • Negotiation and Communication: Communicate with team members on the floor, ensuring smooth operations and adherence to inventory goals, waste reduction, and purchasing requirements.
