Job Description

Supply Chain Buyer (Direct Materials, SAP) – $37.30–$45/hr | Onsite M–F | 3-Month Assignment

Are you a detail-driven procurement professional who thrives in fast-paced manufacturing environments? This is an opportunity to step into a critical supply chain role where your work directly impacts production continuity, supplier performance, and operational efficiency.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of purchasing direct materials that keep manufacturing moving—partnering cross-functionally with planning, scheduling, and suppliers to ensure the right materials arrive at the right time, every time.

What You’ll Do

• Manage end-to-end purchasing activities for direct materials supporting manufacturing operations
• Place and track purchase orders through SAP to meet production and inventory requirements
• Proactively manage supplier relationships to ensure on-time delivery, quality, and performance
• Monitor inventory levels and adjust purchasing strategies to align with production demands
• Identify and resolve supply chain disruptions, shortages, and delivery risks
• Partner with scheduling and production teams to expedite materials when needed
• Resolve invoice discrepancies and coordinate with internal teams to prevent delays
• Support supplier audits and business reviews to drive continuous improvement
• Process return-to-vendor (RTV) transactions for non-conforming materials
• Maintain accurate purchasing records, documentation, and system data
• Identify opportunities to improve purchasing efficiency and streamline workflows

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Logistics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 1–3 years of experience in purchasing, procurement, or production planning within a manufacturing environment
• Hands-on experience issuing purchase orders and expediting materials
• Strong understanding of MRP-driven purchasing processes
• Experience working in SAP or similar ERP systems
• Solid Excel and Microsoft Office skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and solve problems proactively
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across teams and with suppliers

Nice to Have

• Exposure to CPM and/or CPIM certification coursework
• Experience supporting supplier performance reviews or audits
• Background in regulated or quality-driven manufacturing environments

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct impact on production success and supply continuity
• High visibility across supply chain, operations, and supplier network
• Opportunity to strengthen SAP and MRP-driven procurement experience
• Fast-paced environment where your problem-solving skills will be highly valued

If you’re someone who enjoys owning the purchasing process, building strong supplier partnerships, and keeping operations running smoothly, this is a great opportunity to make an immediate impact.
