What Makes You Perfect for This Role :

You're an analytical thinker who gets excited about finding cost-saving opportunities through data. Whether you're a recent grad with strong supply chain coursework or have a few years of procurement experience, you love diving into Excel to uncover insights about supplier pricing and cost structures.

You're intrigued by international sourcing across China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. You're detail-oriented enough to catch compliance errors before they become problems, organized enough to manage multiple supplier relationships, and strategic enough to see how your decisions impact profitability.

You thrive in fast-paced environments where your analytical skills and attention to detail make an immediate impact.
