JOB OVERVIEW

We're a US flooring and tile distributor based in Dallas, TX. We need a purchasing agent who OWNS this job - not someone who just processes it.

READ THIS FIRST
This role is not for someone who waits for instructions. We want someone who:
- Questions a vendor price increase instead of accepting it
- Catches errors before they reach a PO, and asks when something doesn't add up
- Chases late shipments without being reminded
- Tells us about a problem early, along with a proposed fix
- Is comfortable telling a vendor no, and comfortable telling us when something's wrong

If you'd rather keep your head down and stay quiet, this isn't the job for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own purchasing end to end in NetSuite: PO creation, tracking, receipt and data accuracy
- Negotiate. Treat every vendor price as negotiable and fight increases on timing, volume or substitutions
- Track lead times and escalate delays immediately
- Verify and upload vendor price lists, including bulk CSV uploads
- Manage customer orders that require procurement: send status updates and coordinate delivery with our warehouse and logistics teams
- Cover quoting and order intake when needed

REQUIREMENTS
- At least 3 years of purchasing or procurement experience in distribution or manufacturing
- Hands-on NetSuite experience (required): POs, vendor records, inventory and CSV imports
- Strong Excel skills
- Fluent, confident spoken and written English
- Must work US Central business hours (8am-5pm CT), Monday to Friday
- Import experience (tile, stone, LVT) is a plus

ENGAGEMENT
Full-time (40 hrs/week), long-term. Paid trial period first.

HOW TO APPLY
Start your application with the word "Vantage" and answer these:
1. A vendor emails a 6% price increase effective in two weeks. Write the actual reply you would send them.
2. Tell us about a time you pushed back on a vendor, a customer, or your boss. What happened?
3. You're entering a PO and the item cost doesn't match the last PO. What do you do?
4. Describe your NetSuite experience: which transactions did you create day to day, and have you done CSV imports?
5. Can you reliably work 8am-5pm US Central, Monday to Friday?

Applications that don't start with "Vantage" will be skipped, because following instructions is part of this job.
