Job overview

My expertise in purchasing enables me to facilitate the acquisition of goods across a variety of categories and suppliers for a variety of purposes. It is my responsibility to evaluate business needs while adhering to company standards and mitigating financial and liability risks at the same time. Purchase orders are sent through ERP via EDI systems, and I manage the entire lifecycle of a purchase order from receipt to supplier payment. It is my responsibility to evaluate forecasts so I can best determine available sources and suppliers to fulfill the company's needs. During my time at the company, I consistently study sales trends and the vital importance of increasing sales growth within the company. During the selection process, I take into account the supplier's quotes to determine the most cost-effective solution while also allowing for growth on a sales level within these parameters. Using system tools and capabilities, I expedite the delivery of material within the parameters of the purchase order within strict timeframes. Upon receiving an invoice, I verify its accuracy and create timely resolutions for any discrepancies that may arise. Communication with suppliers and client groups is crucial to the successful maintenance and control of inventory in accordance with the standards of both the supplier and the company.
