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
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
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!
