Dried Goods Food Buyer
Location: Queens, NY – Hybrid
Join a pioneering food distribution company that’s revolutionizing bulk ingredient sourcing for independent eateries, leveraging your expertise in category management. Our client is expanding its center-store program and needs a skilled Dried Goods Food Buyer who can secure the right products at the right price while keeping shelves (and kitchens) stocked. If you thrive on fast decisions, high-volume negotiations, and collaborative problem-solving, this growth track role is for you.
What You’ll Own
• Forecast weekly and seasonal demand for packaged grains, pasta, condiments, and other shelf-stable SKUs, then translate that data into timely purchase orders.
• Negotiate cost, lead time, and service terms with regional and national vendors; leverage volume rebates and promotional allowances to improve margin.
• Monitor inbound loads daily, partnering with warehouse operations to anticipate constraints and keep inventory turns on target.
• Audit landed-cost reports to confirm pricing accuracy; reconcile variances with Accounts Payable and issue credits when needed.
• Analyze post-promotion performance, recommending future ad quantities and exit strategies for slow movers.
• Troubleshoot store-level allocation issues, resolving order discrepancies and billing questions quickly to maintain service level.
• Maintain clean item and vendor files in the buying system; enable secure remote access when working off-site.
The Expertise We’re Seeking
• 2+ years of food, C-store, or grocery purchasing experience (center-store categories strongly preferred).
• Proven record of balancing cost, quality, and service in a high-SKU environment.
• Working knowledge of inventory KPIs such as turns, fill rate, and distressed shrink.
• Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with ERP or WMS platforms; experience with remote‐work tools a plus.
• Clear, persuasive communication style with vendors and cross-functional teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, Business, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Why You’ll Love It Here
• Hybrid flexibility – collaborate on site in Queens three days a week and work remotely the rest.
• Impact – own a critical spend category that feeds thousands of restaurants across the Northeast.
• Upward mobility – successful buyers can advance to Category Manager, Corporate Sourcing, or Supply Chain Analytics.
• Comprehensive rewards – competitive salary, performance bonus, 401(k) with match, robust health coverage, and employee-only bulk pricing on food staples.
