  • Measure supplier performance through vendor scorecards and address quality, delivery, and availability concerns.
  • Identify alternative suppliers and respond proactively to shortages, market changes, and supply risks.
  • Partner with the Product Manager on new product introductions, product transitions, and discontinued items.
  • Maintain accurate purchasing and product data, including item setup, supplier information, and discrepancy resolution.
  • Strengthen KPI reporting using Excel, ERP data, and business intelligence tools to turn analysis into actionable recommendations.
  • Resolve purchasing issues across departments and escalate concerns professionally when needed to achieve results.
What You Bring

  • At least five years of purchasing, procurement, or strategic sourcing experience.
  • Previous experience leading and developing a purchasing or buying team.
  • Experience managing a large, diverse SKU portfolio and inventory replenishment.
  • Demonstrated success negotiating supplier pricing, terms, and service commitments.
  • Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel proficiency, including pivot tables, lookup functions, and data analysis.
  • Experience using ERP and inventory management systems.
  • Strong communication, organization, and follow-through.
  • Ability to work onsite in Farmers Branch and travel as needed to develop and maintain supplier relationships.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Wholesale or industrial distribution experience.
  • Experience managing 20,000 or more SKUs.
  • Experience with Epicor Prophet 21 or a comparable distribution ERP.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, or a related field.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
