Job description

Buyer/Scheduler In Supply Chain/Operations

The Deamer Group is proud to be a partner in the confidential search for a Buyer/Scheduler in Supply Chain/Operations. This is a full-time opportunity. Our client, a growing pet treat manufacturer, is looking for a sharp, hands-on Buyer/Scheduler to keep raw materials, packaging, and production flowing. This is a combined role: you'll own purchasing and production scheduling, balancing supplier lead times and inventory against a live plant schedule. If you like solving puzzles where procurement, planning, and the production floor all meet, this is your seat.

Role Responsibilities

  • Purchase ingredients, packaging, and supplies to meet production requirements while controlling cost and minimizing excess inventory.
  • Build and maintain the production schedule, coordinating with plant managers, shipping/receiving, and quality to keep lines running on time.
  • Manage supplier relationships: negotiate pricing and terms, track shipments and lead times, and resolve delivery or quality issues.
  • Monitor inventory levels and reorder points; help avoid both stockouts and overstock of perishable or allergen-sensitive materials.
  • Maintain accurate records of purchase orders, contracts, and supplier communications in the ERP/MRP system.
  • Contribute to cost-savings programs and continuous-improvement initiatives.
  • Support food-safety and traceability compliance (FSMA) across the supply chain

Required Qualifications

  • 47 years of experience in purchasing, scheduling, materials planning, or supply chain food, client, or other manufacturing strongly preferred.
  • Strong working knowledge of an ERP/MRP system (Exact, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, IFS, or similar). AI implementation is currently being evaluated.
  • Solid negotiation skills and comfort managing multiple suppliers and competing priorities.
  • Proficiency in Excel and a head for data: lead times, reorder points, demand patterns.
  • Excellent organization and communication; you'll be the link between suppliers and the production floor.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Preferred

  • Experience in food, beverage, or pet-product manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with food-safety standards and traceability requirements.

We review every resume that is received. Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to every candidate. It usually takes one to two weeks for us to review your application. All applications will remain on file for consideration for future opportunities. Thank you in advance for your application! The Deamer Group is an equal opportunity employer with a goal of recruiting a diverse workforce to meet the hiring needs of our clients.
