Buyer/Planner

Buyer/Planner Anchor Talent has partnered with a global manufacturer in North Dallas to recruit a Buyer/Planner. If you like owning a piece of the supply chain, not just processing purchase orders, but actually steering supplier performance, inventory health, and delivery timing, this role gives you that seat. You'll be the go-between for production, suppliers, and warehouse teams, with say over how materials flow and where the ERP data needs cleaning up. It's a chance to bring order to a fast-moving procurement operation for an established, global manufacturing organization. This is a fully onsite role, Monday through Friday, standard daytime hours. It could be a great fit if you're looking for a stable, established company where procurement is treated as a strategic function rather than a paperwork exercise and where you'll have room to build supplier relationships, enhance processes, and grow into more responsibility over time. This is well-suited for someone who's analytical, doesn't mind holding suppliers accountable, and wants ownership rather than just order execution.
