- Maintain company records, ensuring they are up-to-date and accurate in NetSuite.
- Monitor vendor metrics, taking action as necessary to ensure vendors meet or exceed expectations.
- Maintain optimal inventory levels, ensuring the company has necessary materials without carrying excess stock.
- Develop bill of materials workbooks.
- Read and understand engineering drawings.
- Maintain confidentiality in all aspects of the job.
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- At least 7 years of progressive purchasing or supply chain experience in manufacturing; management experience preferred.

- Ability to influence cross-functionally across departments without direct authority.
- OEM manufacturing experience.
- Proven track record of building or improving processes and procedures in a purchasing/supply chain environment, and leading teams through that change.
