Procurement Administrative Support

Job Description

Jungle Jim’s International Market is looking for a detail-oriented team member to join our Procurement department. This is an administrative support role, not a buying position. Procurement helps keep vendor and item information accurate, reviews purchase orders before they move to Purchasing, and researches and resolves cost and payment discrepancies.

What You’ll Do:

• Process vendor cost and price changes and keep cost records current in our back-office system
• Correct, update, and maintain item information, vendor costs, deals, and allowances
• Prepare new-item files for the Pricing department to import into the system and create new records when needed
• Review purchase orders before approval, comparing quantities ordered with on-hand inventory and sales and verifying costs and deals
• Research and correct costs, allowances, deals, and other inaccuracies on purchase orders rejected by vendors
• Investigate discrepancies across purchase orders, invoices, vendor communications, and system records
• Communicate directly with vendors and work with Buyers and Purchasing to resolve issues
• Research and resolve vendor disputes involving payments
• Handle occasional store-floor or field work as needed

We’re Looking For:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong spreadsheet skills
• Good communication and organizational skills
• Comfort researching discrepancies and tracing problems across multiple records and systems
• Prior experience with procurement, purchasing, pricing, inventory, invoices, or vendor relations is helpful, but not required

Why Work at Jungle Jim’s?

• Employee discounts: 10% after 60 days, 20% after 2 years
• Immediately start earning paid vacation to use beginning at 6 months
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance after 60 days
• 401(k) plan
• Opportunities for advancement in a unique, fast-paced retail environment
