Purchasing Analyst

You know purchasing is about more than processing orders. It's about finding opportunities in the numbers and turning them into smarter business decisions.

You want your analysis to matter.

You want to spot unnecessary spending, strengthen supplier relationships, improve purchasing processes, and have your recommendations heard by leadership.

If you're analytical, organized, detail-oriented, and commercially minded, this Purchasing Analyst opportunity could be the right next step for you.

Who We Are

We're looking for a talented Purchasing Analyst to join our supply chain team and help us take a high-level view of our purchasing activity, supplier relationships, and procurement processes.

You'll work under the general direction of the Director of Purchasing and take on work that requires considerable judgment, initiative, organization, and attention to detail.

This is an opportunity to use your purchasing and analytical experience to identify strengths, uncover opportunities for improvement, and help the organization make more informed purchasing decisions.

What You'll Be Doing

Your work will combine detailed purchasing analysis with supplier management and strategic recommendations.

You'll review purchasing patterns and analyze spending across multiple platforms, helping maintain centralized purchasing standards while identifying opportunities to control costs and improve purchasing performance.

You'll be responsible for:

Reviewing purchasing patterns and analyzing spending across multiple platforms
Generating high-level financial reports to identify cost-saving opportunities
Sourcing new suppliers and researching alternatives in the market
Maintaining positive vendor relationships and tracking supplier performance
