Strategic Buyer - Morgantown - Viwinco

Description

Strategic Buyer

At Viwinco, we don't just purchase materials we build strategic partnerships that power operational excellence. We're looking for a driven, forward-thinking Strategic Buyer who thrives on negotiation, data-driven decision-making, and delivering measurable results.

This is more than a purchasing role. You'll influence sourcing strategy, lead supplier partnerships, drive cost optimization, and serve as a key leader within our purchasing team. If you enjoy owning categories end-to-end and making a visible impact across engineering, operations, and planning, this role is for you.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end strategic sourcing initiatives (RFQs/RFPs, bid analysis, supplier selection).
• Negotiate contracts and pricing to deliver meaningful cost savings and long-term value.
• Build high-performing supplier partnerships and hold vendors accountable to KPIs.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align procurement with production and growth objectives.
• Identify new suppliers, assess market trends, and proactively manage supply risk.
• Champion continuous improvement, spend analysis, and inventory optimization efforts.
• Lead and support the purchasing team to drive performance and accountability.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field.
• 35 years of procurement or supply chain experience with proven negotiation success.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into strategy.
• ERP proficiency and advanced Microsoft Office skills.
• Experience with strategic sourcing, category management, or CPSM certification is a plus.

Why Viwinco?

• High-visibility role with real business impact
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture
• Opportunity to shape sourcing strategy and supplier partnerships
• Growth-oriented environment that values initiative and leadership

If you're ready to move beyond transactional purchasing and into strategic impact, we'd love to connect.
