About the role
- Perform daily execution of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to generate purchase requisitions and ensure material availability for production schedules.
- Convert requisitions into POs, send to vendors, and manage the full cycle through to receipt and 3-way invoice matching.
- Maintain daily communication with suppliers to track open orders, expedite critical shortages, and resolve lead-time or quality discrepancies (SCARs).
- Lead physical inventory accuracy initiatives, including the coordination of cycle counts, root-cause analysis of variances, and management of the RMA/Return-to-Vendor (RTV) process.
- Manage Material Master data, including Bill of Materials (BOM) accuracy, safety stock levels, and correct lead-time offsets.
Requirements
- 3–7 Years of Practical Experience: Proven track record in a Buyer, Planner, or Materials Coordinator role within a manufacturing or distribution environment.
- ERP Execution Expert: Hands-on experience executing transactions in SAP (MM/PP modules), Oracle SCM, NetSuite (not just pulling reports), or similar MRP/ERP tools.
- Tactical Procurement: Experience in the "nuts and bolts" of procurement: negotiating delivery dates, managing freight/logistics, and resolving receiving dock issues.
- Problem Solver: Ability to identify a supply gap and fix it immediately through vendor negotiation or internal process adjustment.
Benefits
- Competitive salary, equity, and a generous benefits package
