Job Description

Job Description
Position Overview:
The Senior Buyer owns both strategic and tactical procurement activities for critical materials and services, ensuring a stable, reliable supply while reducing the need for expediting. This role goes beyond PO execution to drive measurable cost savings, improve supplier performance, and develop supplier strategies aligned with company growth objectives. Operating in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, the Senior Buyer builds strong supplier partnerships, proactively identifies and mitigates supply risks, and provides cross-functional leadership to support uninterrupted production and overall business performance.
Responsibilities
  • Own end-to-end procurement for assigned commodities, including sourcing strategy, supplier selection, negotiations, and execution
  • Lead complex supplier negotiations focused on cost, lead time, quality, and risk reduction
  • Drive cost-reduction and value-engineering initiatives in partnership with Engineering and Operations
  • Serve as escalation point for supplier performance, delivery issues, and quality concerns
  • Develop and maintain supplier scorecards; lead corrective action and continuous improvement efforts
  • Ensure materials availability to support production plans while optimizing inventory investment
  • Maintain and improve purchasing data integrity in ERP/MRP systems (pricing, lead times, MOQ)
  • Support make/buy decisions and new product introduction (NPI) sourcing activities
  • Mentor junior buyers or planners as needed in a small-team environment
  • Contribute to supply chain policies, controls, and process improvements
Qualifications
  • Required:
  • 5–8+ years of procurement or buying experience in manufacturing
  • Proven experience leading supplier negotiations and managing strategic suppliers
  • Strong understanding of supply chain risk, inventory economics, and cost structures
  • Advanced proficiency in ERP/MRP systems and Excel (analysis, scenario modeling)
  • Ability to operate autonomously and make decisions with incomplete information
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Preferred
  • Experience in high-mix, low-volume or regulated manufacturing environments
  • APICS, CPSM, or equivalent certification
  • Experience supporting NPI or rapid-scale production
