Indirect Buyer Responsibilities

  • Procure Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products across multiple categories while identifying opportunities for standardization and cost savings.
  • Purchase ET/IT hardware, including computing equipment, networking components, peripherals, and test equipment.
  • Support procurement of aerospace-related materials, components, and specialized services.
  • Convert purchase requisitions into purchase orders while ensuring compliance with company policies and procurement procedures.
  • Negotiate pricing, terms, and conditions to maximize value and reduce costs.
  • Develop and maintain strong supplier relationships while resolving delivery, quality, and invoice-related issues.
  • Partner with engineering, IT, quality, and operational stakeholders to ensure timely fulfillment of business requirements.
  • Maintain accurate procurement documentation and support audit, reporting, and compliance activities.
Indirect Buyer Qualifications

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 5+ years of procurement or purchasing experience, preferably supporting indirect spend categories.
  • Demonstrated experience procuring COTS products and IT/technology hardware.
  • Strong negotiation, supplier management, and strategic sourcing skills.
  • Proficiency with ERP and procurement systems such as SAP, Oracle, Coupa, or similar platforms.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated manufacturing environments.
  • Familiarity with aerospace quality standards, traceability requirements, and procurement compliance processes.
  • Professional certifications such as CPSM, CPM, or equivalent.
  • Experience with category management and strategic sourcing initiatives.

Indirect Buyer Pre-Screen Questions
  1. Describe your experience managing the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for indirect categories. Specifically, what hands-on experience do you have purchasing COTS products, ET/IT hardware, and aerospace-related materials or services? Please provide examples of category spend you have managed.
  2. Walk us through a specific supplier negotiation where you achieved favorable pricing, terms, or conditions. What was the situation, what approach did you take, and what measurable savings or business value did you deliver?
  3. Which ERP or procurement systems have you used (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, etc.)? Describe your proficiency level and how you have utilized these systems to process requisitions, manage purchase orders, and track procurement activities.
