Where Procurement Drives Performance

Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) is partnering with a leading manufacturing organization to identify a Senior Buyer who can strengthen procurement operations, optimize supplier relationships, and drive cost and efficiency across the supply chain.

This is not a transactional purchasing role.

This position is designed for someone who can analyze, influence, and improve —balancing supplier performance, cost management, and operational execution in a fast-moving environment.

What You'll Do

  • Process and manage purchase orders, requisitions, and sourcing activities
  • Support supplier selection, pricing analysis, and cost optimization initiatives
  • Develop and implement process improvement plans to enhance response time, quality, and efficiency
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to support customer proposals and sourcing strategies
  • Analyze purchasing data to identify trends, risks, and cost-saving opportunities
  • Collaborate with suppliers to ensure on-time delivery, quality performance, and issue resolution
  • Support continuous improvement efforts across procurement and supply chain processes

What Sets This Role Apart

This role is ideal for professionals who:

  • Move beyond order processing and think strategically about sourcing and cost
  • Can balance analytics, negotiation, and relationship management
  • Thrive in environments where efficiency, responsiveness, and supplier performance directly impact business outcomes

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, or related field (MBA a plus)
  • 2–5+ years of experience in:
    • Procurement / Buying
    • Supply Chain or Sourcing
  • Strong capabilities in:
    • Negotiation and vendor management
    • Cost analysis and pricing evaluation
    • Analytical problem-solving and process improvement
  • Proficiency with:
    • Procurement systems and tools
    • Microsoft Office (Excel, reporting, analysis)
  • Ability to:
    • Manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
    • Communicate effectively across internal teams and external suppliers

Why This Opportunity

  • Direct impact on supplier performance, cost optimization, and operational efficiency
  • Exposure to strategic sourcing and procurement initiatives
  • Opportunity to grow into senior sourcing, category management, or supply chain leadership roles
  • Work in an environment where data-driven decisions and execution excellence are valued

Why NWTS

Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) specializes in placing talent into environments where:

  • Execution matters more than titles
  • Procurement is treated as a strategic lever—not a support function
  • Performance is measured through outcomes, not activity

Candidates are:

  • Evaluated for real-world decision-making and impact
  • Matched based on capability, trajectory, and alignment
  • Supported through a high-touch, transparent process

AI-Enabled Talent Matching

NWTS leverages AI-driven insights to:

  • Align candidates based on skills, experience, and success patterns
  • Accelerate precision matching—not keyword filtering
  • Deliver stronger long-term outcomes for both candidates and clients

If you're a procurement professional who thrives on driving value, optimizing supplier performance, and making data-informed decisions , this is an opportunity to step into meaningful impact.
