About The Role
The Purchasing Coordinator II plays a vital role in our organization's procurement operations by providing administrative and operational support to the procurement team. This position is responsible for processing low-value procurement transactions, managing purchase orders, maintaining procurement databases, and generating reports to support decision-making. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders and suppliers to ensure smooth procurement operations.
The Purchasing Coordinator II will execute low-value, non-complex procurement transactions and releases to previously negotiated strategic agreements under management supervision. This role requires collecting, organizing, and analyzing procurement data from multiple sources to create supply chain management-wide and program-specific reports on supplier cost, delivery, and quality metrics. The coordinator will manage purchase orders through their lifecycle, including tracking, supplier follow-up, and supporting closeout/payables processes to ensure contractual compliance. They will gather and distribute procurement documentation such as drawings, specifications, and statements of work from various data sources. The position involves maintaining procurement databases with high accuracy by entering, extracting, and updating information to support procurement agents and maintain data integrity. The coordinator will communicate effectively with procurement agents, internal stakeholders, and suppliers to resolve procurement cycle issues, identify and help resolve procurement discrepancies related to quotes, billing, contracts, and other documentation. Additionally, they will support Procurement Agents in completing procurement transactions and post-purchase order activities, while coordinating, scheduling, and leading procurement-related meetings with team members and stakeholders.
