Job description

Senior Buyer
About Us
Velocity is the nation's leading and largest builder of classic American vehicles, redefining what it means to own a classic. Our vehicles aren't just restored-they're entirely reborn. We blend the timeless soul and aesthetics of vintage cars with the performance, technology, and reliability of modern automobiles. By shifting away from traditional one-off restorations with their many uncertainties, we have set a new standard-delivering meticulously crafted, high-
performance classics with enhanced reliability and drivability.
Velocity's Culture and Core Values
Success at Velocity requires a "whatever it takes" mentality. We embody grit, demonstrating perseverance, resilience, and unwavering determination in the face of challenges. We are adaptable, embracing change, adjusting to new circumstances, and continuously seeking ways to improve processes and outcomes-because growth does not come from comfort. We take ownership, assuming full responsibility for tasks, decisions, and outcomes, whether successes or setbacks,
without shifting blame. "That's not my job" is not in our vocabulary; when one part of our team falls short, we all do. Finally, our ambition fuels our drive to excel, improve, and uphold the highest standards for both personal and professional growth. This mindset defines who we are and ensures our continued success.
Overview
The Senior Buyer is responsible for the strategic and tactical management of assigned suppliers, commodities, parts, materials, and supplies needed to support Velocity's production requirements. This individual will lead sourcing, supplier management, commercial negotiations, cost reduction, and supply risk mitigation while ensuring material is available at the required quality, cost, and delivery performance. The Senior Buyer serves as a key commercial interface with the supply base and is expected to operate with a high degree of independent judgment, proactively improve supplier
performance, and identify opportunities to reduce total cost and strengthen continuity of supply. The ideal candidate has strong negotiation and analytical skills, demonstrated supplier-management experience, and a solid understanding of automotive or complex manufacturing environments.

  • Maintain purchasing master data including supplier pricing, lead times, minimum order quantities, order multiples, and other procurement parameters within the ERP system.

  • Provide guidance and support to less experienced buyers and serve as a procurement resource for complex supplier, sourcing, and commercial issues.
