About The Position

Nomad Global Communications Solutions is a leading provider of communication and response products serving a wide variety of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters.

Progression through the levels reflects increasing responsibility, moving from executing transactional purchasing activities and supplier communications, to independently managing supplier relationships, negotiations, and procurement planning, and ultimately leading strategic sourcing initiatives, supplier performance management, cost reduction efforts, and complex procurement decisions that support organizational objectives.

• Develop stronger analytical judgment using market trends, pricing proposals, inventory data, financial reports, and cost analysis to support procurement decisions and recommendations.
• Demonstrate leadership through cross-functional collaboration, ownership of procurement initiatives, mentorship of junior buyers, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with minimal supervision.
