Buyer

Own the supply. Drive the strategy. Make the impact. VE Solutions is looking for an experienced Buyer who knows how to keep materials moving, suppliers aligned, and production on schedule—without breaking a sweat (most days).In this role, you’ll take ownership of key commodities and supplier relationships, balancing supply and demand while supporting production goals and customer commitments. You’ll partner cross-functionally to anticipate challenges, solve complex supply issues, and continuously improve how we operate. If you thrive in an environment where critical thinking, sound judgment, and proactive problem-solving are expected—not optional—this role was built for you.

This is not a “just place POs” role. You’ll:

• Manage assigned commodities and supplier relationships from end to end
•  
• Analyze demand and set strategic min/max inventory levels
•  
• Validate lead times, review order reports, and place and confirm purchase orders
•  
• Ensure accuracy of all purchasing and inventory transactions in NetSuite
•  
• Source and quote new and existing parts to improve lead times, cost, or quality
•  
• Request and manage Vendor Return Authorizations (VRAs) with suppliers
•  
• Create new part numbers in NetSuite, including cost and sell price updates
•  
• Ensure on-time deliveries—especially for special or time-sensitive orders
•  
• Partner with Accounts Payable to resolve invoice and PO discrepancies
•  
• Collaborate with suppliers to improve cost, quality, and delivery performance
•  
• Maintain and update status reports for key production materials
•  
• Apply critical thinking to evaluate risks, interpret data, and make informed purchasing decisions
•  
• Proactively identify problems and implement effective, timely solutions to prevent production disruptions
•  
• Support the Purchasing Supervisor with sourcing and quoting as needed
•  
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement across procurement processes
•  
• Handle other duties as assigned (because no two days are ever the same)
•  

• Critical thinking and advanced problem-solving skills are required — you can assess situations quickly, evaluate options, and take decisive action
•  
• 5 years of experience in procurement or supply chain
•  
• Experience managing multiple commodities is a strong plus
•  
• Strong attention to detail with a high standard for accuracy
•  
• Working knowledge of NetSuite or other ERP systems preferred
•  
• Proficiency in Excel
•  
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
•  
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
•  
• Collaborative, team-focused approach
•  
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, or a related field preferred
•  

At VE Solutions, we believe strong supply chains are built by strong people. We value:

• Family: We support one another and respect life outside of work
