• Analyze data and reporting to improve planning accuracy and inventory performance
  

• Support spare parts planning, new product introductions, and obsolescence projects
  

• Manage material shortages and communicate recovery timelines
  

• Assist with operational projects and continuous improvement initiatives

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of Buyer/Planner experience in a manufacturing or supply chain environment

• Experience managing planning and purchasing activities through spreadsheet analysis
  

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  

• Ability to prioritize and adapt in a fast-moving environment
  

• Professional, solutions-focused mindset with a hands-on approach
  

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Competitive salary: $70,000–$95,000
  

• High-impact role with visibility across multiple departments
  

• Collaborative and innovative team environment
  

• Opportunity to contribute to operational excellence and process improvements
