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.

The Coordinator must possess analytical and problem‐solving skills and be able to make decisions quickly using sound judgment.

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.
