Senior Packaging Buyer

Full-time

Action Labor and Staffing Connection

A growing Mid-Atlantic poultry processor needs a Senior Packaging Buyer. You will lead packaging and dry ingredient purchasing for foodservice and retail, and manage one buyer. The role splits time between the Baltimore and Hanover sites.

Compensation: $95,000 to $110,000 base, with room up to $120,000+ for strong food manufacturing or protein experience.

What you'll do

  • Own sourcing for boxes, corrugate, trays, film, and labels, plus dry ingredients such as spices.
  • Negotiate contracts, pricing, and terms. Cut cost without hurting quality.
  • Manage and develop the packaging and dry ingredients buyer.
  • Forecast demand and set inventory levels to avoid stockouts and excess.
  • Qualify and audit suppliers for quality and regulatory compliance.
  • Build backup sources and plans for price swings and supply gaps.
  • Work daily with production, logistics, quality, and finance.

What you bring

  • Proven procurement experience, ideally packaging in food manufacturing.
  • Supplier negotiation and cost reduction results.
  • ERP or purchasing system experience and strong Excel skills.
  • Knowledge of food packaging quality and regulatory standards.
  • People leadership or mentoring experience.
  • Ability to pass a post-offer drug screen and background check.
