To support continued operational excellence at our Shape LLC site in Addison, IL, we are now looking for a Procurement Manager who combines structure, ownership, and a hands-on mindset with a collaborative approach.

This is a hands-on, operational role focused on ensuring reliable material availability, strong supplier partnerships, and cost-effective procurement practices that support production continuity.

The successful candidate will be a structured and proactive professional, comfortable managing purchasing workflows, negotiating with suppliers, monitoring inventory, and collaborating closely with Production, Engineering, Quality, and Finance.

Key Responsibilities

Purchasing & Material Management

  • Manage daily purchasing activities, including PO creation, confirmations, follow-up, and delivery tracking
  • Ensure timely availability of raw materials, components, and indirect supplies
  • Maintain accurate ERP data (pricing, lead times, MOQ, supplier details)
  • Monitor inventory levels and coordinate with Production Planning to avoid shortages or excess stock

Supplier Management

  • Act as the primary point of contact for suppliers
  • Maintain strong relationships with existing suppliers and identify new sourcing opportunities as needed
  • Monitor supplier performance (on-time delivery, quality, responsiveness)
  • Support resolution of supply disruptions and quality issues

Cost Control & Negotiation

  • Identify and support cost-reduction initiatives through negotiation and improved purchasing terms
  • Monitor price developments, market trends, and BOM cost impacts
  • Track and report Purchase Price Variance (PPV)

Process, Compliance & Documentation

  • Maintain purchasing records, contracts, certifications, quotations, and supplier files
  • Ensure compliance with internal procedures and purchasing guidelines
  • Support implementation of Kanban or vendor-managed inventory solutions where applicable

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Support Engineering during NPI activities and RFQ/RFP processes
  • Work closely with Operations to manage demand variability and supply continuity
  • Partner with Finance on invoice discrepancies and supplier payment alignment
  • Coordinate with Quality on supplier evaluations and corrective actions

Performance & Reporting

  • Track and report key procurement KPIs (OTD, inventory levels, MOQ adherence, PPV)
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on lead time reduction and supply stability
  • Provide regular updates to the Director of Operations on risks, shortages, and supplier performance

Qualifications & Skills

  • Degree in Supply Chain, Business Administration, Procurement, or a related field
  • 3–5+ years of experience in purchasing or supply chain roles within a manufacturing environment
  • Solid understanding of procurement processes and inventory management
  • Proven negotiation skills and working knowledge of contracts and commercial terms
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • ERP experience required (Sage 500 is a plus)
  • Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail and data accuracy
  • Highly organised, dependable, and disciplined in follow-up
  • Professional, ethical, and results-oriented

What we offer

  • A hands-on procurement role with real ownership and visible impact on daily manufacturing operations
  • Employment in a stable, well-established manufacturing company within a global industrial group
  • A collaborative site environment, supported by the resources and expertise of the Noratel Group
  • Close cross-functional cooperation with Production, Engineering, Quality, and Finance
  • A culture driven by clear values (PACTE), accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Compensation range of $100,000–$110,000, plus bonus potential, aligned with role scope and experience
  • Healthcare coverage and a Paid Time Off (PTO) plan

At Shape, you’ll find the closeness of a local team with the strength of an international group.

Here, your work will matter - for our people, for our company, and for the industries we serve.
