Procurement Manager

procurement manager.

At makesy, we believe deeply that the "right" people are our greatest asset. We value people with high energy, who possess the ability to energize others. People who are smart, creative and have a point of view. People who see the answer in every problem, versus those who see the problem in every answer. People who are driven, determined and won't take "no" for an answer. We value team players, people who are more concerned with what's right, rather than who's right.

We are looking for a rockstar procurement manager to join our team!

You will be a driving factor in makesy’s mission to always have the right inventory and supplies in the right place and quantities at the right time and within budget, so that we can fulfill our customer orders accurately and on time.

The Procurement Manager will own a variety of purchasing, supply planning, sourcing, supplier coordination, materials movement, and order reconciliation responsibilities and improvement initiatives to help ensure that our raw materials, finished goods, and supplies are planned for, sourced, purchased, transported, stored, always in stock, and replenished, while ensuring items do not reach critically low or stock out levels. If you consider yourself a one-of-a-kind, expert Procurement Manager, let’s chat! We cannot wait to meet you!
