What we're looking for

  • 4-5 years of experience in operational purchasing, procurement, and international logistics in an industrial environment.
  • SAP R/3 or SAP S/4HANA is essential (solid proficiency for tracking and operational management of orders).

The role

We are looking to hire a Purchasing & Logistics Coordinator to reinforce the Supply Chain area, ensuring the correct execution and monitoring of purchase orders from their launch to final receipt.

What you'll do

  • Execute the purchasing and procurement strategy defined by the Supply Chain management, ensuring compliance with deadlines and conditions.
  • Coordinate the international logistics associated with orders, guaranteeing traceability and the correct progress of each shipment.
  • Perform exhaustive order tracking (launch, confirmations, milestones, documentation, and receipt), prioritizing tasks to avoid deviations.
  • Manage and resolve incidents and last-minute changes with suppliers and internal areas, keeping the supply chain operational.
  • Negotiate occasionally when necessary (operational adjustments, conditions, or incidents), always prioritizing the continuity of supply.
  • Rigorously review the documentation and critical data of each operation (payment terms, Tax ID, format, currency, etc.).
  • Coordinate with multiple areas (sales, production, planning, warehouse) to ensure consistency between demand, availability, and receipt.
  • Escalate and manage logistical risks by proposing corrective actions to minimize impacts on customer service.
  • Act with a "hands-on" mentality: when the situation requires it, drive the follow-up all the way to the port/operation to verify the real status of the supply.
