Entry Level Assistant Buyer - Brockton, United States - W.B. Mason Company, Inc
Description
Overview:
About Us
An American owned and operated company since 1898, W.B. Mason has been delivering workplace essentials to keep businesses running for over 120 years. A leader in B2B eCommerce, Supply Chain Management and Distribution, youve probably seen our iconic red and yellow trucks, adorned with the image of our founder William Betts Mason, as they deliver tens-of-thousands of orders each day throughout New England and the Eastern United States.
Originally built on Office Supplies, weve since expanded to offer innovative, cost effective and customized solutions to an ever-evolving set of business requirements; selling and delivering over 15 product lines that span from Janitorial Supplies, Food Service, Shipping & Packaging, Breakroom and Furniture, to everything in between for every type of business.
About the Opportunity
Working within a highly visible new category for the Company, the Shipping & Packaging Assistant Buyer will help our Category Team maintain inventory levels in over 50 warehouse locations throughout the country. An inherent team-player, this role works cross-functionally to oversee stock, monitor purchase orders and maintain accurate pricing; helping to determine company buying needs by analyzing market trends, customer demand, economic conditions and year-over-year variance.
This role is set in a Hybrid work environment, meaning employees will work partly remote and partly in-office, with in-office time required for training. The primary reporting in-office location for this role is our Corporate Headquarters, located in Brockton, MA. Semi-regular travel to our Boston Seaport warehouse is also required and will be based on business need.
