The Impact You'll Make

As our Tactical Buyer Planner, you'll help launch a new Hydronics valve train assembly line in Tallahassee by ensuring the right materials are available when production needs them. You'll combine operational purchasing and production planning to maintain delivery performance, inventory accuracy, and effective inventory levels.

You'll also help transition material sourcing and planning activities from European counterparts to the United States, giving you the opportunity to shape processes within a growing manufacturing operation.

Success in this role means enabling reliable production, meeting customer delivery commitments, and achieving inventory targets as the new operation scales.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Plan and purchase material requirements in SAP, using production demand, sales forecasts, and MRP data to keep the assembly line supplied while maintaining appropriate inventory levels.
  • Monitor and manage open purchase orders, expediting or rescheduling materials when necessary to protect production schedules and customer deliveries.
  • Coordinate with suppliers, assembly teams, Operations, Customer Service, Supplier Quality, and Procurement to resolve supply constraints and align current and future production needs.
  • Maintain production orders, inventory movements, ordering quantities, and part-level MRP data to improve inventory accuracy and support delivery and inventory-turn targets.
  • Implement engineering changes and help transition purchasing and planning responsibilities from European colleagues to the Tallahassee operation, building dependable processes as the manufacturing line develops.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree (B.S. or B.A.) or equivalent relevant experience in a manufacturing environment. A degree is not strictly required when you bring relevant practical experience.
  • Demonstrated experience in operational procurement, purchasing, materials planning, or supply chain, typically gained through 3 or more years of relevant experience in a production or industrial environment.
  • Hands-on SAP experience and the ability to work with purchasing, planning, production-order, or MRP-related activities with limited ramp-up time. Comparable ERP experience may be considered when paired with strong relevant experience.
  • Experience securing materials for production, with the judgment to balance material availability, customer delivery requirements, and inventory targets.
  • Strong analytical, numerical, and communication skills, including the ability to interpret technical procedures, analyze supply requirements, and communicate effectively with suppliers and cross-functional partners.

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience in automotive, industrial manufacturing, food and beverage, or another production-focused environment with complex material requirements.
  • APICS/ASCM certification, such as CPIM, a related supply-chain credential, or a commitment to obtain certification. Certification sponsorship is available.

What You'll Get from Us

  1. We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  2. You'll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
  3. We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
  4. You'll receive benefits like annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they're worth asking about-we think they're pretty great.
