Buyer

Our client is a global manufacturer and systems integrator of electronic safety products and wireless communication infrastructure serving industrial end markets worldwide. With 50+ years of innovation and a rapidly expanding product portfolio, this is an opportunity to join a company in a significant growth phase. The Buyer will drive material availability, cost control, and supplier performance within a fast-paced, high-mix electronic assembly environment. Projects You'll Work On Convert MRP demand into purchase orders across assigned commodities — electronic components, PCBs, machined parts, and assemblies — keeping production on schedule. Source and qualify new suppliers to improve cost, quality, and lead time across a global supply base. Own day-to-day supplier performance: track OTD, manage expedites, resolve capacity constraints, and drive PO acknowledgment cycle times down. Lead RFQ processes, negotiate pricing and volume agreements, and deliver measurable cost-down results against PPV targets. Partner with Engineering on new product introductions, design changes, and ECR/ECN implementation. Maintain ERP/MRP master data integrity: lead times, MOQs, pricing, and sourcing rules. Collaborate cross-functionally with Planning, Finance, Logistics, and Customer Service to manage supply risk and reduce premium freight and excess inventory. What Experience You Should Bring 3–5 years purchasing/procurement experience in electronics manufacturing, light assembly, or technology-driven production. ERP/MRP proficiency (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, Epicor, or Infor); advanced Excel (pivots, XLOOKUP, analytics). Working knowledge of MRP logic, BOM structures, cost breakdowns, and three-way match processes. Strong negotiation skills — comfortable running RFQs, building quote comparisons, and closing volume agreements. Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). Preferred: commodity experience in electronics, PCBs, EMS, metals, or plastics; Lean/CI exposure; CPSM, CPM, CPIM, or CSCP certification. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Company experiencing significant product line growth with expanding global market reach. Work with cutting-edge electronic safety and wireless products used in demanding industrial environments. Direct operational impact — sourcing decisions flow straight to the production floor. Innovation-driven culture with clear growth paths and investment in employee development. #J-18808-Ljbffr
