Procurement Coordinator

Purchasing & Order Management

• Place timely, accurate purchase orders against order points, demand forecasts, and production needs.
• Track open orders through to receipt, chasing confirmations, ship dates, and delays before they become problems.
• Reconcile quantities, pricing, and lead times against agreed terms, and resolve discrepancies as they come up.
• Balance freight cost against timeline when coordinating inbound shipments.

Supplier Relations

• Be the go-to contact for our suppliers — reorders, issues, and everyday communication.
• Source and qualify new suppliers to expand our options and reduce single-source risk.
• Compare quotes, negotiate pricing and terms, and flag bigger commitments for sign-off.
• Track supplier performance on price, quality, lead time, and fill rate.

Price Improvement & Cost Control

• Hunt for better pricing, alternative materials, and new sourcing options — without compromising quality.
• Benchmark current pricing against the market and surface cost-saving ideas.
• Watch variable-cost materials like gold and silver, and time purchases to manage price exposure.

Inventory Accuracy & Data Clean-Up

• Maintain accurate supplier records, costs, lead times, and reorder quantities in the ERP.
• Get to the root cause of inventory and purchasing discrepancies — and fix it, not just the symptom.
• Support cycle counts and reconcile on-hand vs. system quantities.
• Standardize item, supplier, and cost data so purchasing decisions rest on solid ground.
