Purchasing Specialist - Master of POs, Jedi of ERP 🌟
Location: El Segundo - one day a week in office is a MUST This is a temporary assignment for 3-6months
Pay: $40-45/hr - depending on experience
About the Role:
Do you speak fluent "vendor follow-up" and "budget wrangling"? Are your spreadsheets color-coded just for fun ? If you answered yes, you might just be the Purchasing Specialist we never knew we couldn't live without.
We're on the hunt for a hyper-organized, wildly responsive, slightly caffeinated human who loves a good PO and lives to keep marketing, sales, and ecommerce teams from setting the office on fire (financially speaking, of course).
Your (Slightly Dramatic) Mission:
- Serve as the mighty bridge between Marketing, Sales, Ecommerce, Finance, and Vendors (a.k.a. " The Realm of Eternal Email Threads").
- Translate business speak (" We need this now!") into purchase orders with ninja-level precision.
- Keep tabs on budgets for your favorite influencers
- Follow up on invoices like a friendly bounty hunter.
- Be the hero we need when a PO goes rogue, or an invoice disappears into the abyss.
- Tame the beast that is Microsoft Dynamics ERP with grace, grit, and possibly snacks.
What You'll Actually Do (Besides Saving Everyone's Sanity):
- Collect quotes, contracts, and documents like a Pokémon master.
- Submit POs with proper coding and chase approvals like your lunch depends on it.
- Track deliveries, confirm goods receipts, and ensure vendors are paid (so they keep liking us).
- Onboard new vendors like a boss - forms, compliance, and all.
- Work closely with Accounts Payable to avoid invoice purgatory.
- Handle ad hoc requests, because life (and Marketing) is unpredictable.
What You Bring:
- Organization skills that make Marie Kondo weep.
- The ability to explain a PO to a marketer using memes and spreadsheets.
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics or another ERP (Extra Respect Points).
- A deep love of process, paired with the patience of a saint and the speed of a caffeinated squirrel.
Perks:
- Work with fun, slightly chaotic teams who appreciate your purchasing prowess.
- Be the go-to guru everyone thanks at the end of the quarter.
- Occasional snacks. Endless appreciation. PO glory.
