A Day in the life

A day in the life of an Assistant Purchasing Manager is full of hands-on involvement assisting with neighborhood management by overseeing trade partner set-up, monitoring construction budgets, and ensuring budget closeouts are accurate and on schedule. A key part of your role involves trade partner management, where you’ll help maintain strong relationships, evaluate performance, and ensure the team has the bench strength needed to meet project demands. Cost management is critical, as you will regularly market-test costs, review work order revisions for opportunities to improve Scopes of Work, and address material shortages to keep projects on track. You’ll also play a vital role in contracting by maintaining Master Agreements with exhibits, Scopes of Work, and other key documentation while ensuring purchasing information is up-to-date in the Homebuilder One ERP system. Your responsibilities include creating base and elevation budget estimates for new products, assisting in the development of Neighborhood-specific Product Books, and managing contract maintenance logs to ensure compliance and efficiency. You will grow your expertise by participating in prototype walks and implementing feedback to improve processes. Additionally, you’ll research and recommend solutions to challenges like material shortages and process problem invoices as needed. Spending 80% of your time in the office and 20% in the field, you’ll work closely with Purchasing Managers to uphold best practices, maintain department systems, and promote operational efficiency. Your work is crucial to maintaining smooth project execution, ensuring legal and financial compliance, and contributing to Stanley Martin’s mission, vision, and values.
