As a Buyer/Planner at Phoenix LLC, I was responsible for procuring component parts and assemblies for the production of neutron generators as well as planning purchase timelines to meet production schedules as projects move from prototype to production. I created purchase orders in SAP Business One, fulfilled purchase requests in Wrike, and utilized Slack to communicate with engineering, management, AP, and other members of the purchasing team. In addition to my purchasing responsibilities, I also managed vendor relationships though the creation of quarterly scorecards, weekly open purchase order reports, and weekly past due delivery reports for vendors. I was also the backup Import/Export Coordinator for Phoenix LLC and frequently attend seminars and webinars in order to maintain a current knowledge of US import and export regulations. I also helped identify and rectify deficiencies within our trade compliance program as it grew. I enjoyed working closely with many different groups in this roll, and liked the added challenge of working in a prototype environment where bills of material and timelines shift frequently.
