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.

Organization skills that make Marie Kondo weep.
The ability to explain a PO to a marketer using memes and spreadsheets.
