Job description

This search is being conducted by Flex HR on a confidential basis on behalf of our client. The client's identity will be shared with candidates who advance in the process. Qualified candidates should submit a resume for consideration.
Buyer / Scheduler
Gainesville, GA • Supply Chain / Operations • Reports to President • Full-time, on-site
ABOUT THE ROLE
Our client, a growing pet treat manufacturer, is looking for a sharp, hands-on Buyer/Scheduler to keep raw materials, packaging, and production flowing. This is a combined role: you'll own purchasing and production scheduling, balancing supplier lead times and inventory against a live plant schedule. If you like solving puzzles where procurement, planning, and the production floor all meet, this is your seat.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Purchase ingredients, packaging, and supplies to meet production requirements while controlling cost and minimizing excess inventory.
  • Build and maintain the production schedule, coordinating with plant managers, shipping/receiving, and quality to keep lines running on time.
  • Manage supplier relationships: negotiate pricing and terms, track shipments and lead times, and resolve delivery or quality issues.
  • Monitor inventory levels and reorder points; help avoid both stockouts and overstock of perishable or allergen-sensitive materials.
  • Maintain accurate records of purchase orders, contracts, and supplier communications in the ERP/MRP system.
  • Contribute to cost-savings programs and continuous-improvement initiatives.
  • Support food-safety and traceability compliance (FSMA) across the supply chain.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • 4-7 years of experience in purchasing, scheduling, materials planning, or supply chain - food, CPG, or other manufacturing strongly preferred.
  • Strong working knowledge of an ERP/MRP system (Exact, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, IFS, or similar). AI implementation is currently being evaluated.
  • Solid negotiation skills and comfort managing multiple suppliers and competing priorities.
  • Proficiency in Excel and a head for data: lead times, reorder points, demand patterns.
  • Excellent organization and communication; you'll be the link between suppliers and the production floor.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

NICE TO HAVE
  • Experience in food, beverage, or pet-product manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with food-safety standards and traceability requirements.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
  • Base salary of $65,000 - $70,000, depending on experience.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid time off and holidays.
  • A meaningful leadership role where you help drive success.
