As the Purchasing Manager at Woodhaven Furniture, your role will be pivotal in driving cost reduction initiatives with our supply base to meet quarterly and annual targets while tracking and validating savings. You will maintain optimal inventory levels and reorder points for our manufacturing plants, utilizing ERP systems and Excel to lead network inventory reductions. This position involves training and evaluating purchasing planners, facilitating effective use of procurement tools to reduce inventory levels.

Bilingualism is a plus, as is being a team player with strong analytical and decision-making abilities. Effective communication skills are essential, both written and verbal, enabling you to influence outcomes and foster collaboration.

Proficiency in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, ERP systems, and project management software will be key to multitasking, prioritizing, and managing time efficiently in this dynamic environment.
