Procurement Specialist

Are you ready to play a pivotal role in transforming the way we manage our supply chain? We're looking for a Procurement Specialist who’s not afraid to think big, challenge the status quo, and help us build stronger supplier relationships that drive success. If you’re someone who loves a challenge, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is passionate about optimizing processes, this is the opportunity for you!

What’s In It For You?

As our Procurement Specialist, you'll be at the heart of our mission to continuously improve and streamline our supply chain. You won’t just be crunching numbers or signing contracts; you’ll be shaping the future of procurement by forging meaningful partnerships with suppliers across the country. We want someone who’s not just focused on cost but is committed to building long-lasting, reliable relationships that drive value. It’s not just about getting the best price—it’s about getting the best value, the best quality, and the best partners.

In this dynamic role, you’ll help mentor a growing team, share best practices, and make an impact on our overall business success. Get ready for a fun and rewarding journey!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Power up our supplier network: Build and nurture relationships with suppliers to boost on-time deliveries and fuel our company’s growth.
• Cost-effective wizardry: Help identify cost-effective sourcing options and work hand-in-hand with our Supply Chain team to make them a reality.
• Master the details: Be the go-to person for tracking key metrics like shortage lists, purchase order compliance, and supplier performance.
• Lead the charge on strategy: Develop strategic partnerships that are built on trust, reliability, and mutual growth—always with a focus on value beyond price.
• Make decisions that matter: Align our sourcing strategies with company goals while optimizing order policies and reducing working capital.
• Mentor and develop the team: Share your expertise with the team, help them grow, and empower them to achieve excellence.
• Wear many hats: No two days are the same—assist with any additional duties or projects that come up!

What We’re Looking For:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management or a similar field (preferred, but we’re also big on passion and potential!)
• 1-3 years of experience in procurement or a related field (if you’re a fast learner, we’ll help you sharpen those skills!)
• A tech-savvy guru: Comfortable with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and eager to learn new tools.
• Strong communication skills: Both verbal and written—whether you're negotiating with suppliers or collaborating with teammates, you can communicate clearly and confidently.
• A detail-oriented organizer: You can juggle multiple tasks while ensuring everything stays accurate and on track.
• A time management pro: You’ll stay ahead of the curve and make every minute count!

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience with Lean Manufacturing or similar methodologies.
• A background in the automotive industry (that’s a plus, but not a must-have!).
