  • Support fixed-price programs, margin management, and exposure awareness
  • Identify opportunities to reduce delivered cost and improve supply efficiency

Leadership & Accountability

  • Set purchasing standards, controls, and approval thresholds
  • Oversee and mentor fuel buyers or supply coordinators, if applicable
  • Serve as the primary point of accountability for fuel supply performance
  • Collaborate with executive leadership on supply planning and risk considerations

Compliance & Documentation

  • Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and internal control requirements
  • Maintain accurate documentation for purchases, contracts, and audits
  • Support accounting reconciliations related to fuel inventory and cost

Qualifications

  • Significant experience in fuel purchasing and supply management
  • Deep understanding of fuel oil, diesel, gasoline, and propane markets
  • Strong knowledge of rack pricing, basis differentials, and fuel logistics
  • Proven ability to make time-sensitive purchasing decisions
  • Strong leadership, communication, and analytical skills
  • Bachelors Degree

Preferred Experience

  • Fuel distributor or propane company environment
  • Experience managing seasonal demand cycles
