Great pizza starts with great ingredients — and great ingredients start with a Purchasing Coordinator who keeps the supply chain running smoothly. You'll be the glue between our suppliers, production floor, and quality team, making sure the right materials show up in the right place at the right time. If you love solving problems, building supplier relationships, and keeping a fast-paced plant stocked and running, this is your seat. What You'll Do Purchase raw materials, ingredients, packaging, labels, and operating supplies based on production schedules and inventory needs.

Be the go-to contact for suppliers on pricing, lead times, order status, and delivery schedules. Coordinate incoming deliveries with the warehouse and receiving team. Partner with Quality Assurance to confirm materials meet food safety and quality standards — including COAs, specs, and allergen documentation. Track supplier performance (on-time delivery, quality, service) and resolve issues like shortages, damaged goods, or incorrect shipments. Support new product launches by sourcing materials and coordinating supplier timelines. Maintain accurate pricing and supplier records, and pitch in on physical inventory/cycle counts as needed. Spot and act on cost-saving opportunities — without ever compromising quality or service. Food Safety & Quality Buy only from approved suppliers and keep supplier documentation current. Support compliance with HACCP, GMPs, SQF/BRC (where applicable), FDA, and USDA requirements. Take part in supplier approval and verification activities. Speak up immediately on any food safety or quality concern.
