Buyer / Purchasing Agent

Raises purchase orders within limits and chases deliveries

The Buyer raises purchase orders for approved requisitions from preferred suppliers, confirms prices and delivery dates, chases late orders and resolves invoice mismatches.

Purchases under a small approved cap run end to end (class A); anything above the cap, off-contract or with a new supplier is approved by a named person (class B). The buyer never pays invoices.
