About the Role

We’re seeking a detail-oriented and cost-conscious Purchasing / Sourcing Specialist to manage and optimize supplier relationships for our Amazon private-label and marketplace operations.

You’ll lead sourcing and negotiations with manufacturers, build landed cost models, and oversee end-to-end execution across samples, purchase orders, and logistics. The ideal candidate combines strong analytical skills with operational rigor — ensuring smooth, margin-focused supply chain performance from factory to FBA / 3PL.

Key Responsibilities

• Source, vet, and onboard manufacturers; run RFQs and negotiate pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms.
• Build and maintain accurate landed cost models, factoring in duties, freight, and FBA fees to achieve margin targets.
• Coordinate product samples, specifications, labeling, packaging, and compliance with Amazon and category standards.
• Create and track POs from production through delivery; ensure on-time, in-full (OTIF) supplier and carrier performance.
• Monitor vendor performance (cost, quality, lead time, defect rate) and lead corrective actions as needed.
• Conduct supplier audits and risk assessments (geopolitical, compliance, capacity).
• Identify and execute cost-saving initiatives through negotiation, packaging optimization, or alternate sourcing.
• Drive continuous improvement in sourcing processes and supplier performance.
