## About the role

Buy well. Run quotes against each other, find the real price, and negotiate standing preferred-pricing agreements so we stop renegotiating the same part every quarter. Own the paperwork end to end: purchase orders, invoice scheduling, pre-delivery coordination, and the resale and exemption certificate back-and-forth nobody else wants.

## What they're looking for

- 0-2 years of experience. New grads encouraged
- Evidence you can run something other people depend on: a shop or expediting job, a lab where you owned ordering, a club budget that was actually a budget, a family business you helped keep straight
- Spreadsheet fluency, and the instinct to turn a spreadsheet into a system before it becomes a mess
- Relentless attention to detail. This role requires juggling dozens of open items at once. None of them can slip so you will have to organize, prioritize, and keep track of the status of many things at once
- Any exposure to procurement, ERP or MRP, or defense sourcing (DFARS, ITAR-aware) it a bonus
- Sovereignty is built, not declared — come build it with us
