About The Position

You’ll work in our Bloomington office and report to the Finance Manager, partnering with teams across the company. You’ll help carry purchasing from request to receipt and keep our inventory accurate, both Blackwood-owned and customer-owned. It’s more than placing orders. You’ll see how a purchase moves from request to approval, PO, delivery, and payment, and how inventory moves from receipt to count to customer report. You’ll also have a real chance to help make both run more smoothly.
