Buyer, Supply Chain​/Logistics

Job Description

We are seeking a Buyer to join the Purchasing team at a local children’s hospital, supporting a multi‑location healthcare system. This is a hands‑on, non‑senior Buyer role responsible for purchasing all non‑pharmaceutical supplies across the organization. The Buyer will convert requisitions into purchase orders, manage vendor communications, and resolve post‑order issues such as rejected orders, cancellations, reissues, pricing discrepancies, quantity changes, and delivery problems.

The role supports both Medline/eStock and non‑Medline vendors, with frequent email and phone follow‑up required to ensure orders are fulfilled accurately and on time.

This position works closely with Supply Chain Operations, Informatics, and Accounts Payable to resolve purchasing, receiving, invoicing, and system‑related issues. Buyers also follow up when departments report missing or incorrect items and assist with transactional purchasing tasks to support overall team workload.

The Purchasing team consists of six buyers and operates in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment, especially as the organization prepares to open a new hospital and transition from Lawson to Workday.

This is a collaborative team with a strong culture. The team works hard, communicates openly, supports one another, and maintains a positive, social environment where people enjoy working together while managing a heavy workload.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
