- Maintain complete and accurate procurement documentation, including POs, contracts, invoices, vendor records, order acknowledgements, and freight documentation.
- Manage purchasing workflows from request through delivery, coordinating closely with Design & Development, Facilities, Operations, and Finance.
- Maintain accurate ERP records for orders, costs, receipts, inventory, and related procurement data.

- Anticipate supply requirements, identify potential disruptions early, and develop alternative sourcing solutions.
- Continuously improve procurement processes, reporting, systems, and controls as Flow scales.
