Purchasing Jobs in Coats, NC

A Purchaser in the retail industry, also known as a Buyer, plays a crucial role in managing the acquisition of products or services for a retail store or chain. They are responsible for finding, evaluating, and acquiring products that meet their company's needs and are of the best quality and price. They also negotiate with suppliers, maintain relationships, and assess the performance of existing vendors. A Purchasing Manager analyzes consumer buying patterns and predicts future trends to ensure the timely availability of products in stores.

Key skills for a Purchaser include strong negotiation skills, excellent analytical abilities, good numerical skills, and a keen understanding of the retail industry. They should also have strong interpersonal skills to liaise with vendors and internal teams effectively. Knowledge of procurement software and methodologies is beneficial. Certifications such as Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) or Certified Purchasing Manager (CPM) can boost their credibility and skills. Before becoming a Purchaser, an individual may have roles such as a Purchasing Assistant, Procurement Analyst, or Inventory Specialist.
