Buyer

Vertiv Group Corp. • Anderson, SC • 56min ago

Job Description

Vertiv is hiring a Buyer to support our manufacturing operations. This role goes beyond admin support-you will manage the PO lifecycle end-to-end for assigned parts, collaborate with suppliers to meet delivery, quality, and cost targets, and partner closely with Planning, Receiving, Warehouse, and AP to ensure smooth execution. Success looks like clear supplier communication, accurate data in IFS, fewer past-due lines, and on-time material availability for our production lines.

Responsibilities

Purchase Execution

Convert approved requisitions into accurate POs; confirm pricing, quantities, terms, and delivery dates.

Manage the full PO lifecycle: acknowledgements, expedites, pushouts, and changes; close out POs promptly.

Maintain clean, current data in IFS (dates, prices, lead times, part attributes, min/max levels).

Supplier & Stakeholder Management

Drive supplier OTD by following up on open orders, resolving discrepancies, and escalating risks early.

Obtain and compare quotations within thresholds; support basic negotiations and cost updates.

Coordinate with Planning on demand and reschedules; partner with Receiving/Warehouse to clear receiving or quality holds.

Work with AP to resolve invoice variances (price/qty/freight) against PO terms.

Inventory & Availability

Help manage min-max and reorder points for assigned parts; recommend adjustments based on usage and lead time.

Track inventory status and open orders; flag shortages and propose recovery actions (expedites, substitutions, pulls).

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

Produce weekly buy/expedite reports and supplier commit updates.

Monitor KPIs (e.g., past-due PO %, OTD, invoice holds) and take corrective actions.

Participate in Kaizen/CI activities; standardize templates/workflows to improve accuracy and speed.

Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate's/Bachelor's preferred.

2+ years in purchasing or a manufacturing operations role preferred (strong admin + expediting backgrounds considered).

Strong Excel skills (vlookups, pivots, basic formulas) and proficiency in Outlook/Word.

Experience with an ERP; IFS strongly preferred.

Solid grasp of purchasing flows (requisitions ? POs ? receiving ? invoicing) and basic inventory concepts (lead time, min-max).

Clear written and verbal communication; able to prioritize, follow through, and manage multiple suppliers/parts simultaneously.

Ability to work independently while collaborating in a team-oriented environment.

Physical & Environmental Demands

PPE required on the production floor (earplugs, gloves, eyewear, respirator/mask, etc.).

Frequent sitting and standing.

Travel Required

Less than 5%.
