Job Description

Purchasing Specialist - Master of POs, Jedi of ERP 🌟
Location: El Segundo - one day a week in office is a MUST

This is a temporary assignment for 3-6months
Pay: $40-45/hr - depending on experience

About the Role:
Do you speak fluent "vendor follow-up" and "budget wrangling"? Are your spreadsheets color-coded just for fun ? If you answered yes, you might just be the Purchasing Specialist we never knew we couldn't live without.

We're on the hunt for a hyper-organized, wildly responsive, slightly caffeinated human who loves a good PO and lives to keep marketing, sales, and ecommerce teams from setting the office on fire (financially speaking, of course).

Your (Slightly Dramatic) Mission:

  • Serve as the mighty bridge between Marketing, Sales, Ecommerce, Finance, and Vendors (a.k.a. "The Realm of Eternal Email Threads").
  • Translate business speak ("We need this now!") into purchase orders with ninja-level precision.
  • Keep tabs on budgets for your favorite influencers
  • Follow up on invoices like a friendly bounty hunter.
  • Be the hero we need when a PO goes rogue, or an invoice disappears into the abyss.
  • Tame the beast that is Microsoft Dynamics ERP with grace, grit, and possibly snacks.

What You'll Actually Do (Besides Saving Everyone's Sanity):

  • Collect quotes, contracts, and documents like a Pokémon master.
  • Submit POs with proper coding and chase approvals like your lunch depends on it.
  • Track deliveries, confirm goods receipts, and ensure vendors are paid (so they keep liking us).
  • Onboard new vendors like a boss - forms, compliance, and all.
  • Work closely with Accounts Payable to avoid invoice purgatory.
  • Handle ad hoc requests, because life (and Marketing) is unpredictable.

What You Bring:

  • Organization skills that make Marie Kondo weep.
  • The ability to explain a PO to a marketer using memes and spreadsheets.
  • Experience with Microsoft Dynamics or another ERP (Extra Respect Points).
  • A deep love of process, paired with the patience of a saint and the speed of a caffeinated squirrel.

Perks:

  • Work with fun, slightly chaotic teams who appreciate your purchasing prowess.
  • Be the go-to guru everyone thanks at the end of the quarter.
  • Occasional snacks. Endless appreciation. PO glory.

Ready to bring order to creative chaos? Apply now - your Excel sheet awaits. If this role sounds like you, please send your resume ASAP!
