Clear, professional communication in English, written and verbal, with dependable judgment on when to resolve a routine issue and when to escalate to the buyer. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE High school diploma or equivalent required; an associate’s degree in business, supply chain, or a related field preferred. 0–2 years in purchasing, order entry, customer service, or a similar administrative role; ERP data-entry experience is a plus. Relevant on-the-job experience may substitute for formal education. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS Ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. Frequent, repetitive computer and data-entry work, primarily on-site in an office setting. Ability to sit or stand for extended periods and to occasionally lift or move items up to 25 pounds.
