Procurement Specialist

Job Description

Procurement Specialist | Contract to Hire
Kansas City, MO | Hybrid after Training
Looking for a chance to grow your procurement career with a global organization?

One of my clients, a large international company with a strong reputation and long term stability, is adding a Procurement Specialist to its procurement team. This is a contract-to-hire opportunity that offers the chance to prove yourself, gain valuable experience, and transition into a permanent role. NOTE: This role is located in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and our client does not offer relocation assistance.

If you enjoy working with suppliers, solving problems, staying organized, and ensuring the right materials arrive on time, I'd like to talk with you.
What You'll Be Doing

• Create and release purchase orders.
• Monitor supplier delivery commitments.
• Follow up on open orders and resolve vendor issues.
• Work closely with customer service, operations, and warehouse teams.
• Request supplier quotations.
• Expedite orders when customer needs change.
• Maintain purchasing records and inventory related data.
• Help ensure materials are available to meet production and customer demand.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 1 to 3+ years of experience in purchasing, procurement, strategic sourcing, supply chain, buyer or purchasing coordinator roles, materials planning, or vendor management.
• Strong organizational skills.
• Excellent communication and relationship building abilities.
• Experience using Microsoft Excel.
• Exposure to ERP or MRP systems is helpful.
• Power BI experience is a plus but not required.
• Bachelor's degree preferred, but comparable experience will also be considered.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Contract to hire with long term potential.
• Large international company with excellent stability.
• Hybrid schedule after approximately 90 days of training.
• Collaborative team environment.
• Opportunity to build valuable procurement and sourcing experience.
• Pay range of $60, 000 - 70, 000/year depending on experience.

If you're looking for an opportunity to grow your career in procurement, sourcing, or purchasing, I'd enjoy telling you more about this confidential opening.
