As a Buyer, you will be responsible for managing the end-to-end procurement process for an assigned portfolio supporting the ProPhotonix Cork business. You will ensure the timely availability of materials and services to meet production and customer requirements while balancing cost, quality, inventory, lead times, and supply risk. Working closely with internal stakeholders and suppliers, you will drive sourcing, negotiation, and supplier performance activities and maintain accurate purchasing data to support effective business planning and decision-making.

- Proactively manage shortages, overdue orders, supplier capacity and continuity risks; agree recovery plans, maintain credible dates in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and communicate impacts early.
- Lead RFQs, quote evaluation, sourcing and supplier recommendations for assigned production materials, engineering changes, NPI/project purchases and approved indirect requirements.
- Negotiate price, lead time, payment terms, minimum order quantities, capacity and service commitments within delegated authority, documenting outcomes and escalating non-standard terms for approval.
- Monitor supplier delivery, quality, cost and responsiveness; lead routine performance reviews, corrective actions and improvement plans for suppliers within the assigned portfolio.
- Maintain accurate purchase orders and purchasing master data, including prices, lead times, MOQ, units of measure, confirmations, revised dates and supporting commercial or quality documentation.
- Partner with Planning, Production, Engineering, Quality, Finance and Logistics to resolve supply issues and identify savings, cost avoidance, inventory, freight, lead-time and working-capital improvements.
