Accentuate Staffing is assisting with a major pharmaceutical company in Durham who is seeking a highly organized Purchasing Coordinator for a contract assignment running through February 2027.

This position will provide administrative and purchasing support to the Manufacturing Operations team during a period of significant growth and increased activity.

This individual will help the department prepare and process approximately 200 blanket purchase orders and not-to-exceed agreements, allowing team members to remain focused on critical operational priorities.

The successful candidate will be detail-oriented, responsive, and comfortable supporting more than 90 employees across multiple departments within Manufacturing Operations. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced administrative professional with purchase order and vendor-management experience to contribute within a fast-paced pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.
