This role will provide direct leadership to the purchasing/buyer team and serve as the key connection between Purchasing, Materials, Planning, Production, Suppliers, and the broader Procurement organization. The position will focus heavily on supplier execution, PO management, material availability, shortage recovery, and ERP/MRP discipline. ### Key Responsibilities Lead and supervise the Pelzer purchasing/buyer team and daily purchasing activities. Own day-to-day PO creation, management, maintenance, and execution. Ensure purchase orders are placed accurately and in accordance with MRP demand, production requirements, and approved sourcing strategies. Drive supplier confirmation of PO quantities, pricing, required dates, and promised delivery dates. Maintain accurate supplier promise dates and purchasing data within the ERP system. Lead daily review and management of material shortages, past-due POs, supplier decommits, and critical components. Establish clear recovery plans for materials impacting production schedules or customer commitments. Manage supplier expedites and escalation activities to protect factory production requirements. Partner closely with the Planning team to ensure purchasing priorities are aligned with WON requirements and production schedules. Work with Materials leadership to prioritize shortages based on production, customer commitments, and revenue requirements. Ensure buyers are proactively managing future demand rather than reacting only to immediate shortages. Drive strong MRP purchasing discipline, ensuring purchase orders and supplier commitments accurately reflect system demand. Identify and escalate supplier capacity, lead-time, quality, commercial, or delivery risks. Partner with strategic/global Procurement on supplier performance, sourcing issues, commercial concerns, and long-term supply risks. Support Engineering and other functions with purchasing requirements related to BOM changes, new product introduction, and engineering changes. Lead daily/weekly purchasing and shortage reviews and provide clear visibility of risks and recovery actions. Develop and maintain purchasing KPIs and reporting, including past-due POs, supplier OTD, shortage recovery, PO confirmation, promise-date accuracy, and material availability. Coach and develop buyers while establishing clear accountability and standardized purchasing processes across the Pelzer team. Support month-end and quarter-end execution by ensuring critical materials are prioritized against production and revenue requirements. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Aug 20, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 10, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 10, 2026 - Listed for: 51 days - Location: Pelzer, SC, United States[Apply on Vertiv Holdings’s careers site →](https://egup.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX/job/20279748) ## More jobs at Vertiv Holdings ### [Logistic Supervisor](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vertiv-holdings/jobs/c029cfef0aa6904da1c3/) Pelzer, SC, United States ### [Manager, Project Procurement - IS](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vertiv-holdings/jobs/a75fad1bfff8868b7093/) Pelzer, SC, United States ### [P3 Shipping Clerk - Weekend Shift](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vertiv-holdings/jobs/5b9e68238a228b21f698/) Pelzer, SC, United States ### [Purchasing Expeditor](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vertiv-holdings/jobs/1f83db67745f82b9b0b5/) Pelzer, SC, United States ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Purchasing Agent - MRO](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/albertsons/jobs/894957d5c62697c866b3/) Albertsons · Tempe, AZ, United States ### [Purchasing Coordinator](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/comfort-systems-usa/jobs/33b7256f65fca86bede4/) Comfort Systems USA · Richmond, VA ### [Supervisor - Purchasing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/universal-health-services/jobs/3273cc3fad2a6fd9ac1c/) Universal Health Services · KING OF PRUSSIA, Pennsylvania ### [Purchasing & Material Administration Analyst - E2](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/b678a1005a2b2d0c2d50/) Lockheed Martin · Grand Prairie, TX ### [Purchasing & Material Administration Analyst Asc - E1](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/df32d23d5a5ae31c47e1/) Lockheed Martin · Orlando, FL OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
