• Prepare supplier pricing documentation and assist with formal procurement paperwork.
• Act as a planning/purchasing SME during audits and performance reviews.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

You are a strategic, analytical professional with a strong background in planning and procurement—comfortable with technical product complexity, high SKU counts, and ERP environments. You’re patient, detail-focused, and able to extract insight from large datasets to support business decisions.

What We’re Looking For: 

• 5+ years in planning roles, with hands-on procurement experience.
• Background managing technical inventories in manufacturing or distribution.
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems such as SAGE, SAP, Oracle, or AS400.

• Culture: Transparent, well-organized, and supportive—valuing process discipline and clear communication.

Why Apply?

• Be part of a respected brand with deep roots in innovation and performance.
• Join a company undergoing meaningful supply chain transformation.
