Are you highly analytical with a knack for vendor relationships and procurement strategy? Ready to take ownership of a role that keeps our shelves stocked, our customers satisfied, and our growth on track?

  • Coordinate warehouse transfers and support inventory control for assigned locations.
  • Partner with sales teams to fulfill special customer orders and resolve discrepancies.
  • Analyze cost trends, vendor incentives, and inventory data to improve purchasing efficiency.
  • Support physical inventory events and provide coverage for other buying roles.
  • Utilize vendor websites and portals to track orders and confirm availability.
  • Drive procurement process improvements while staying within budget targets.

Requirements

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree preferred, with 1+ years in purchasing or equivalent experience.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Sharp attention to detail and organizational follow-through.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and business system applications.
  • Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills.
  • Analytical mindset with problem-solving agility.
  • Confident in calculating percentages, analyzing stock trends, and managing thresholds.

Join Fromm Electric and help drive smarter purchasing and operational excellence across our expanding network. Apply now and become part of our team.
