Job Description:

We are partnering with a small, family-run manufacturing company that is seeking a Purchasing Agent to take ownership of procurement, inventory control, and vendor strategy. This is a high-impact role within a quiet, close-knit operation where purchasing decisions directly affect cost, efficiency, and production continuity. This position is being created to elevate purchasing beyond order placement — the organization needs someone who understands how to save money, control inventory, and improve processes in a real manufacturing environment.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own day-to-day purchasing activities for a multi-product manufacturing operation
  • Obtain and evaluate multiple vendor quotes to ensure best pricing and terms
  • Lead supplier negotiations to drive cost savings and improve reliability
  • Ensure materials are ordered accurately and delivered on time to support production
  • Monitor inventory levels to balance availability with cash efficiency
  • Analyze usage trends, lead times, and demand to refine purchasing decisions
  • Identify opportunities to reduce excess inventory and unnecessary spend
  • Support forecasting and inventory planning initiatives
  • Assess current purchasing workflows and recommend improvements
  • Develop or refine standard operating procedures and purchasing best practices
  • Partner with accounting, production, and leadership to align purchasing with business goals
  • Maintain strong relationships with existing suppliers
  • Evaluate vendor performance on pricing, quality, and delivery
  • Research and onboard new suppliers when necessary
  • Monitor market conditions to reduce supply risk and identify savings opportunities

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of purchasing experience in a manufacturing environment
  • Hands-on experience with inventory control and procurement processes
  • Strong negotiation skills with documented cost-saving impact
  • High attention to detail and strong organizational skills
  • Proactive mindset with the confidence to challenge the status quo
  • Excellent communication skills across all levels of the organization

Nice to have:

  • Experience in a small or mid-sized manufacturing company
  • Exposure to multi-product manufacturing environments
  • Strong Excel skills and comfort working with ERP or inventory systems
  • Prior involvement in SOP or process redesign initiatives
What we offer:
  • Medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance
  • Company 401(k) plan
  • Free online training
