About the Opportunity
As a Procurement Assistant, you will help make sure the right products arrive at the right time and price, directly impacting margins, in-stock rates, and customer satisfaction. The role is built for an early-career supply-chain professional eager to grow into a Buyer or Category Manager track while working in a fast-paced environment that rewards initiative and data-driven decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Release and track purchase orders that align with sales forecasts and shelf-life considerations, reducing excess and spoilage
- Partner with vendors and internal teams to negotiate cost, lead-time, and service commitments that support margin and inventory-turn targets
- Monitor daily/weekly cost and inventory reports, flag variances, and recommend corrective actions
- Research and resolve pricing or billing discrepancies, process credits, and maintain accurate purchasing records
- Coordinate with warehouse operations to maintain efficient product flow and support promotional events
- Use remote buying tools to place emergency orders or make real-time adjustments when working off-site
- At least 6 months in a Supply Chain or Procurement-related role or relevant experience
- Working knowledge of procurement, inventory planning, logistics, and basic accounting concepts
- Proficiency with Excel and the ability to learn new purchasing platforms
- Proven multitasking skills with keen attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication to foster supplier and cross-functional relationships
- Genuine interest in the food-service industry and emerging market trends
- Competitive compensation plus comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match, paid time off, and employee discount program
- Hybrid schedule with one remote day each week
- Clear career path toward Buyer, Senior Buyer, and Category Manager roles
- Collaborative, growth-oriented culture that invests in professional development
