It's what keeps us inventing and reinventing, all the time. Our culture is wide open, just like our spaces. We bring out the best in each other through collaboration. Through our countless volunteer projects, we also help network with the communities around us, too. You can do amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

What's the Role:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and customer-focused Buyer to join our New York-based Indirect Procurement team. You’ll be responsible for managing the end-to-end procurement of goods and services, ensuring timely, cost-effective purchases that meet the needs of our internal stakeholders.

As a Buyer, you’ll handle transactional purchasing across a wide range of indirect categories, maintain key vendor relationships, and support the procurement function through diligent order execution, data management, and continuous improvement of our purchasing processes. You will also play a key role in helping identify opportunities to optimize our buying channels, reduce manual effort, and drive increased efficiency across the procurement function.

We’ll trust you to:

+ Take initiative to independently define and implement best-in-class tactical buying strategies, establishing scalable procedures and frameworks that align with organizational procurement goals.

+ Act as a proactive owner of the tactical buying function, identifying gaps in existing processes and leading the development of streamlined workflows and documentation to support purchasing excellence.

+ Demonstrate strong autonomy and ownership by driving continuous improvements and independently spearheading initiatives to optimize indirect procurement operations and reduce manual workload.

+ Engage with suppliers for quotes, product information, and order follow-ups

+ Process tactical purchase requests and convert them into accurate purchase orders

+ Identify opportunities to improve buying channel usage (e.g., catalogs, punchouts, P-cards), reduce manual transactions, and promote process standardization

+ Contribute to initiatives that drive process improvements and operational efficiency

+ Ensure timely order placements and deliveries to meet stakeholder needs, improving purchasing cycle times

+ Collaborate with Accounts Payable, Sourcing, and Procurement Operations to ensure seamless order-to-payment workflows

+ Ensure purchases comply with internal procurement guidelines and policies

You’ll need to have:

+ 2-4 years of experience in a Buyer or Procurement Coordinator role, preferably in indirect procurement

+ Strong working knowledge of ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and procurement tools (e.g., Ariba)

+ Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy in handling transactions and data

+ Excellent organizational and time-management skills

+ Ability to prioritize and manage multiple purchasing requests simultaneously

+ Strong interpersonal and communication skills for effective vendor and stakeholder engagement

+ Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience

We’d love to see:

+ Familiarity with purchasing best practices and procurement policy frameworks

+ Experience in a financial control driven environment.

+ Previous experience working with IT hardware and software resellers and/or managing software.

+ Experience in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

+ Knowledge of indirect spend categories such as marketing, facilities, or IT

+ CPP / CIPS / CPM certifications

+ Experience supporting contract and vendor documentation processes
