Job Description

Now Hiring: Purchasing Specialist (AKA The Deal Detective 🕵️‍♂️)
📍 Chatsworth
💼 Type: Full-Time | Non-Profit Sector - fully in office
💰 Pay: Let's just say $26/hr isn't worthy of your skills - so let's talk!

Do you have a sixth sense for spotting the best deals? Can you navigate vendor negotiations with the precision of a seasoned auctioneer? Are you the kind of person who finds joy in spreadsheets and cost breakdowns? (We see you 👀) - then you just might be the Purchasing Assistant we're looking for.

Our non-profit org is facing an overload of work (read: we're thriving, but swamped), and we need an expert buyer to help us manage a high volume of purchase orders and vendor relationships with grace, grit, and a bit of caffeine.

🎯 What You'll Be Doing:

• Managing high-volume purchasing like a pro

• Handling formal bids from start to finish, including bid packet prep and document wrangling

• Conducting cost analyses that would make any finance team swoon

• Negotiating pricing with vendors without breaking a sweat

• Supporting departments across the org with all their buying needs

• Maintaining and vetting strong vendor relationships - you're part buyer, part detective

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams and staying calm under pressure

• Working magic in MS Office Suite and Workday's procurement functions

🧠 What You Bring to the Table:

• 3+ years of purchasing experience , especially if you've got that AA or Bachelor's degree

• Strong experience in buying, budgeting, and making every dollar count

• You've danced with tight deadlines and lived to tell the tale

• Stellar communication skills (you'll be chatting with vendors and internal teams)

• Non-profit experience? That's a cherry on top

💼 Why You'll Love This Job:

• You'll play a key role in keeping things running smoothly for a mission-driven org

• Variety! You'll work with multiple departments, vendors, and challenges

• You'll be the go-to expert for all things purchasing - respected and relied on

• A chance to do impactful work, not just place orders

If you've got the skills and the stamina to handle all things procurement, we want to hear from you. This is a long term temporary position, with the option of going direct hire after a few months. No relocation offered. If this sounds like you, please send your resume ASAP!

Pay: $26-27/hr
