Job Description

Buyer Assistant

Are you looking for a role that offers growth potential, ownership, and the chance to be part of a dynamic team? Join our expanding company as a Buyer Assistant and play a crucial role in our purchasing and inventory management processes. With our new plant opening, you’ll have unique opportunities to build policies, learn different aspects of the business, and grow within a supportive environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Exciting Growth: Be part of a company experiencing significant growth with a new plant opening.
  • Ownership and Impact: Opportunity to build out and create policies for the new plant.
  • Dynamic Team: Work within a smaller team, allowing you to wear multiple hats and learn different aspects of the business.
  • Transparent Leadership: Enjoy quarterly townhalls and clear communication from leadership.
  • Employee Perks: Participate in contests, enjoy free lunches, and get discounts on name brands who are current clients, like Reebok.
  • Strong Benefits: Up to 6% 401K match, 100% vested from day 1.
  • Career Growth: Room for growth within the team and the organization.

Your Impact in This Role

  • Place purchase orders and ensure timely procurement of materials.
  • Forecast inventory levels, manage open orders, and maintain the ERP system (IFS) up to date.
  • Provide administrative support to the current team, including one Senior Buyer and one Jr. Buyer.
  • Monitor purchases and inventory levels to meet manufacturing needs.
  • Generate POs, schedule deliveries, and update the status of POs and orders.
  • Contact suppliers to resolve supply shortages, missed deliveries, and incorrect orders.

What You Bring To The Table

  • 1-2 years of experience in purchasing, or a recent Supply Chain graduate with internship experience.
  • Experience with any ERP system, with IFS experience being a plus.
  • Strong Excel skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and work in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

Ready to take on a role with growth potential and make a significant impact on our purchasing processes? Apply now to join our team as a Buyer Assistant and be part of our exciting journey!
