Ingredient Procurement supports Manufacturing, R&D, Marketing, QA, Regulatory and other functions to ensure Company utilizes suppliers that meet or exceed our quality, service, and delivery expectations. The Purchasing Coordinator serves as the primary Company contact for suppliers in performing the day‐to‐day activities necessary to procure commodities used by Company. All activities must adhere to Corporate Purchasing Policies and Division Purchasing Procedures. If procurement transactions are not completed successfully, timely delivery of materials is jeopardized. This can result in production risks, including but not limited to line shutdown, inadequate inventory, lost sales and project delays. The Coordinator must possess analytical and problem‐solving skills and be able to make decisions quickly using sound judgment. The Coordinator demonstrates the ability to prioritize to enhance productivity and manage workload with minimal supervision. The Coordinator must understand inventory control and basic accounting principles. Because coordination is required among internal and external parties and often involves information of a confidential nature, excellent oral and written communication skills are required.

Communicate continuously with external partners (Suppliers, Third Party Manufacturers, Freight Carriers) and internal departments, including but not limited to (Mfg.

Create yearly blanket purchase orders for commodities supplied to company's domestic manufacturing plants and third‐party manufacturers. Generate forecasts for commodities purchased for the US and/or global operations. Perform comparative analysis on forecasts, actuals and contracts for global purchases to provide timely and comprehensive information about inventory, contract balances, and production changes. Offer recommendations to management to move volumes and/or increase contracts to avoid supply issues. Escalate issues suppliers may have about the forecasts. Ensure compliance to company policies and procedures and manage audit readiness metrics. Act as the liaison between company and suppliers when deliveries are late or on hold. Coordinate necessary actions to ensure material delivery, including expediting delivery from alternate sources. Verify that purchase order releases and requisitions reflect the proper price, based on current contracts. Incorrect pricing leads to late invoice payment, which affects supplier relationships, company's credit standing, and potentially future deliveries of materials. When applicable, possess knowledge of external guidelines and various governmental agencies and processes. Utilize systems and resources to support clearance, delivery and compliance of international and domestic orders. Partner with suppliers to alleviate chronic delivery or quality problems. Work with the Procurement Mangers, manufacturing plants, company's supplier QA, other internal departments and suppliers to identify and implement solutions.
