Strategic Buyer

We're looking for a highly organized operator to build the procurement and operations backbone behind our hardware programs. You'll work with engineering, ops, finance, facilities, and outside suppliers to source critical goods and services, run purchasing workflows, and improve the systems that keep us moving fast.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes owning messy, high-urgency problems and becoming the person all teams trust to get things done — across lab equipment, facilities, engineering services, production support, and business-critical vendors.

Key responsibilities

• Own day-to-day purchasing across indirect and NPI spend, converting internal requests into RFQs, quotes, requisitions, and complete, accurate POs (vendor, location, quantity, price, item description, delivery address, and requester context).
• Track open orders through delivery and communicate PO status clearly to requesters, Supply Chain, Logistics, AP, and Engineering.
• Review quotes for price, lead time, MOQ, payment and shipping terms, and commercial accuracy; negotiate pricing, expedite fees, and shipping costs.
• Manage supplier relationships, setting clear expectations on documentation, PO requirements, shipment timing, and payment terms.
• Partner with AP and Finance on vendor setup, invoice submission, payment requirements, and PO/invoice discrepancies.
• Improve procurement workflows, trackers, templates, and handoffs as Etched scales.
