Working closely with Buyers for Packaging and Ingredients, this role supports operations and engineering teams, prepares RFQs / RFPs, validates pricing, resolves invoice issues, and contributes to continuous improvement initiatives across the business. This position offers hands-on exposure to strategic sourcing, negotiations, and vendor management in a fast-paced, supportive environment, with the opportunity to take ownership of projects and develop into a full Buyer role while directly supporting operational success.

Strategic Procurement & Analysis (Primary ~80%)

  • Develop, prepare, and analyze RFQs / RFPs for indirect categories in support of the Senior Buyer
  • Conduct cost comparisons, track savings, and support strategic sourcing decisions.
  • Analyze indirect spend reports to identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
  • Process invoices and resolve pricing discrepancies by investigating PO, invoice, and vendor issues.
  • Evaluate supplier performance and escalate issues when needed.
  • Monitor market conditions (pricing, supply disruptions, trends) to support purchasing decisions.
  • Participate in cross-functional projects that improve processes and procurement efficiency.

SAP Master Data & Purchasing Support (Secondary ~20%)

  • Maintain accurate vendor master, material master, and Purchase Info Records (PIRs) in SAP.
  • Create new Material / Part Numbers or extension, update specifications, and ensure data accuracy for the team.
  • Update Packaging and Ingredients volume forecasts for Buyers as needed.
  • Assist with new vendor setup packages and compliance documentation.
  • Support Operations, Engineering, and R&D teams with data validation and purchasing requirements.
  • Provide general administrative support to the Procurement team when required.
  • Qualifications

  • 2+ years of purchasing or supply chain experience, preferably in food, CPG, or manufacturing.
  • Strong analytical ability and intermediate–advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, basic formulas).
  • Experience with SAP or another ERP system.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Clear and professional communication skills (written & verbal).
  • Demonstrated problem-solving skills and ability to work independently with minimum guidance.
  • Ability to take initiative, follow through, and work proactively.
  • High ethical standards and strong work ethics.
  • Post-secondary education in Supply Chain, Business, Logistics, or related discipline.
  • Experience supporting procurement categories.
  • Experience working in a manufacturing environment, with exposure to operations and production workflows.
