• Verify that purchased goods and services meet specifications, partnering with receiving, quality, and suppliers to resolve discrepancies.
• Identify and reduce excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory and recommend improvements to material-planning processes.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Collaborate with Sales, Operations, and Production Planning to align material availability with customer commitments and manufacturing priorities.
• Partner with Engineering and Product Management on component selection, supplier readiness, product changes, and product lifecycle decisions.
• Work with Finance and Accounts Payable to resolve purchase order and invoice discrepancies and improve purchasing controls and cost visibility.

Systems, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate purchasing and inventory transactions in NetSuite, including purchase orders, receipts, stock movements, and related data.
