About the Role:

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Part-Time Purchasing Manager to oversee procurement operations for our furnished apartments business. This role is critical to ensuring our multimillion-dollar supply chain runs smoothly — from forecasting and purchasing to vendor management and cost control.

What You’ll Do:

• Forecast & Plan: Anticipate purchasing needs by analyzing inventory trends, installation schedules, and upcoming demand. Create forecasts that drive timely and cost-efficient orders.
• Vendor Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for major suppliers across categories such as linens, housewares, electronics, and OS&E. Manage relationships, resolve issues, and ensure on-time deliveries.
• New Supplier Sourcing: Identify and onboard new vendors when needed to secure better pricing, higher quality, or more reliable service. Negotiate favorable terms to maximize value.
• Order Processing: Place and track purchase orders, ensuring quantities and specifications are correct. Resolve discrepancies and follow up on delayed or missing items.
  Inventory Oversight: Monitor inventory at the Moody warehouse, track what’s running low, and coordinate with the warehouse team to maintain accurate counts.
• Cost Control: Track purchasing spend, evaluate cost-saving opportunities, and document results. Maintain detailed and organized purchasing records.
• Financial Compliance: Ensure vendors are paid on time to avoid shipping delays and keep operations running smoothly. Upload receipts into Airbase promptly to prevent credit cards from being locked and maintain account integrity.
• Returns & Refunds: Coordinate product returns, replacements, and refunds with vendors as needed

What You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; 4+ years of experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain management required.
