We are building our network of talent in this field across West Michigan and the broader manufacturing region Pivot Group Network serves.

If there is alignment now or in the near future, we reach out.

The Opportunity

  • Conduct market research and analysis to identify new suppliers, products, and industry trends.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with key suppliers and internal stakeholders.
  • Resolve supplier performance issues, including non-conformances and delivery delays.

Recommended Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of experience in procurement or supply chain, preferably within manufacturing.
  • Demonstrated ability to negotiate contracts and manage supplier relationships effectively.
  • Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) for purchasing and inventory management.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret market trends and make data-driven decisions.
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Plex) for procurement and inventory management.
  • Demonstrated ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications.
  • APICS CSCP or CPIM certification.
  • Familiarity with Lean manufacturing principles and their application to supply chain.
  • Proven track record of successful negotiation with international suppliers.
