Job Description

Make every purchase count at our Lebanon site

Picture your morning: you open SAP to review Open PO and On‑Time Delivery dashboards, pull a quick snapshot from SIEVO/Celonis, and scan open requisitions from maintenance and production. You line up RFQs, negotiate terms for plant services, verify pricing and conditions, and release POs with meticulous accuracy. By midday you’re on the production floor (moderate noise), confirming a vending program refill for MRO items and expediting a past‑due component. The afternoon brings a business review with a key supplier, a GR/IR reconciliation, and updates to material master and pricing records—closing the loop on performance, savings, and compliance.

• Generate KPI and operational reports from SAP and SIEVO/Celonis (e.g., Open PO, On‑Time Delivery, open requisitions, spend, and savings).
• Maintain SAP purchasing data integrity, including pricing, records, and material master data.
• Resolve escalations with suppliers and proactively remove obstacles to supply.
• Manage past‑dues and expedite when needed; complete acknowledgements and attach supporting documents (quotes, confirmations, etc.) to SAP POs.
• Administer supplier vending programs and VMI for categories such as MRO, packaging, clean‑room, office, and janitorial supplies.
• Improve order efficiency rate (OER%) by deploying alternative order types such as SPOs, scheduling agreements, and framework orders.
• Lead local cost‑saving initiatives to deliver measurable outcomes.
• Oversee invoice reconciliation and GR/IR clearing by researching discrepancies and driving resolution.
• Plan short‑term coverage and mitigation actions for quality-, time-, or quantity‑driven supply risks.
• Conduct regular supplier performance ratings and business reviews; coordinate sustainable supplier development projects.
• Support audits and new product introductions in partnership with cross‑functional teams.
• Promote safety/EHS directives and maintain a clean, safe workspace.
• Ensure adherence to ISO 9001/14001/15378, cGMP, company policies, procedures, and Code of Conduct/safety guidelines.
• Contribute to KPI reporting as applicable, and perform other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials Management, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business Management, or related field (required).
