• Work closely with sourcing and suppliers to address lead-time concerns, availability issues, and pricing discrepancies.
• Expedite, defer, or adjust open orders as needed to prevent service interruptions and keep stakeholders informed of changes.
• Handle procurement exceptions such as emergency buys in accordance with defined governance and authorization procedures.
• Track supplier performance, support invoice and purchase order reconciliation, and maintain accurate procurement and material data records.
• Provide support for occasional domestic and international travel requirements based on business demand.

Qualifications:

• Certificate, training, or equivalent practical experience in procurement, supply chain, logistics, or materials management.
• At least 2 years of experience in a buyer, materials control, or related supply chain role.
• Background supporting aftermarket, spare parts, or other service-driven operations is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, including Excel.
• Experience using SAP or similar enterprise resource planning systems in a purchasing environment.
