• Oversee day-to-day purchasing operations, including processing procurement requests, issuing purchase orders, and communicating order progress to internal teams.

• Drive savings initiatives through pricing analysis, supplier negotiations, and sourcing decisions that preserve service levels and quality expectations.

• Build and maintain landed cost models to compare sourcing scenarios and support informed purchasing strategies.

• Evaluate, approve, and onboard new vendors in partnership with operational, quality, and technical stakeholders.

• Track market conditions, commodity movements, and broader economic trends to anticipate risks and adjust procurement plans accordingly.

• Prepare and present sourcing recommendations, supplier evaluations, and business cases to executive leadership.

• Lead supplier performance reviews, manage contract terms and renewals, and develop alternate sourcing options to reduce supply disruption risks.

• Partner with demand planning, research, quality, and operations teams to align procurement activity with forecasted needs, inventory strategy, and product initiatives.

• Support procurement process enhancements and tool adoption while promoting consistent purchasing practices across the organization.

• At least 5 years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, contract management, or a related purchasing function.

• Minimum of 3 years working with raw materials, agricultural products, specialty ingredients, or similar supply categories.

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, or a closely related discipline.

• Proven ability to lead RFx events, negotiate contracts, and manage supplier relationships in a fast-paced environment.

• Strong understanding of cost analysis, commodity dynamics, and factors that influence sourcing strategy and total landed cost.

• Advanced proficiency with Excel and solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.

• Excellent organizational, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

• Spanish language skills and relevant procurement certifications are considered an advantage.
