Are you interested in handling contracts critical to a national builder’s supply chain in Dallas? Do you want to work for a long-established company well-positioned to fill the exceptional demand for new homes? Are you interested in opportunities for professional growth within one of the largest and most diversified builders in the country? If so, a recent opening could provide a rewarding step for your career.

This company’s newest purchasing agent will handle all aspects of supplier contracting. This will include contract formulation and review, as well as managing the performance of national and local vendors. He or she will monitor compliance with cost, quality, productivity and service requirements, managing supplier relationships and resolving conflicts as needed. At the same time, the purchasing agent will collaborate with other division professionals in design, scheduling, field operations and process improvement. He or she also will contribute to standard operating procedures while acting as a subject matter expert whom leaders can turn to for category strategy.

A bachelor’s degree is required, with ISCM accreditation preferred. Candidates should have at least three years of relevant experience. This should reflect an understanding of purchasing’s impact on balance sheets and cost structures. The company seeks someone with a background in supply chain management, preferably with category expertise. The new purchasing agent also will be an adept negotiator skilled at developing vendor partnerships.
