Perform cost analysis and comparison to ensure best value across all purchases of goods and services. Issue and manage purchase orders from creation through delivery and invoice resolution. Host and conduct supplier status calls for make-to-spec procurements. Partner with engineering, operations, and finance to understand material needs and align procurement strategy.

Resolve supply disruptions, shortages, and escalations quickly. Maintain accurate records of all transactions, purchase orders, and receipts. Manage master data elements for suppliers and parts.

Help identify and implement process improvements for purchasing efficiency. You probably have: Prior ERP system experience required. Strong analytical and organizational skills. Purchasing or supply chain experience, ideally in aerospace or manufacturing. Comfortable working in different purchasing systems and spreadsheets.
