About The Position

GreenChem Industries is seeking a resourceful and analytical Purchasing & Sourcing Specialist to support our growing global chemical distribution business. This is more than a traditional purchasing role. We are looking for someone who enjoys finding solutions—sourcing difficult-to-find products, developing new suppliers, negotiating better terms, analyzing costs, and using AI and modern technology to make sourcing and procurement faster and smarter.

Requirements

• 1-2+ years of purchasing, procurement, sourcing, supply chain, or related experience preferred
• Associate degree required; bachelor's degree preferred
• Strong research, analytical, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP systems; NetSuite is a plus
• Experience using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, AI sourcing tools, automation, or similar technology is highly preferred
• Persistent, curious, organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Someone who looks for another solution when the first answer is "no"
• You do not need to be a programmer. We want someone who knows how to use technology to research faster, analyze information, identify opportunities, and make better purchasing decisions.

Responsibilities

• Source chemicals and identify new domestic and international manufacturers and suppliers
• Partner with Sales to find solutions for new, difficult-to-source, and time-sensitive customer opportunities
• Use AI tools, digital research, industry resources, and supplier networks to identify new sourcing opportunities
• Prepare RFQs and compare suppliers based on price, quality, lead time, freight, duties, terms, reliability, and total landed cost
• Negotiate pricing, payment terms, MOQs, freight terms, lead times, and stocking programs
• Develop backup suppliers to reduce supply-chain risk
• Create and manage purchase orders through delivery
• Monitor shortages, backorders, supplier delays, and changing market conditions
• Maintain accurate supplier pricing, lead times, and purchasing information in our ERP
• Analyze purchasing data and identify opportunities for cost savings and process improvement
• Build strong relationships with domestic and international suppliers
• Use AI, automation, Excel, and other technology to improve sourcing, research, reporting, and repetitive purchasing processes
