You have a deep understanding of ecommerce and marketing performance metrics - and you know how to connect the dots between numbers and business decisions. You’re equally comfortable digging into SQL, collaborating with cross-functional teams, or presenting findings to leadership.

You don’t just report what happened - you ask why, suggest what’s next, and help others see the path forward. Whether you’re optimizing a campaign, troubleshooting a data set, or building a dashboard from scratch, you bring clarity, focus, and impact to everything you do.

• Cost Reduction Initiatives: Champion cost-saving programs and vendor negotiations. Use data, market research, and creative thinking to deliver measurable savings without compromising quality.
• Supplier Management: Develop strong, performance-based relationships with key suppliers. Conduct evaluations, resolve issues, and ensure consistent on-time delivery and adherence to specs.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Finance to align procurement efforts with product development and operational goals.
• Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of buyers and support staff. Create a culture of accountability, growth, and continuous improvement.
• Inventory & Compliance: Coordinate with Operations to optimize stock levels and prevent downtime. Ensure adherence to purchasing policies, ethical practices, and relevant regulations.
• Process Improvement: Continuously improve procurement systems and tools. Implement best practices in supply chain management to support our fast-paced, quality-first culture.

What You Bring
