Across the Southeast, our teams support local brands and operating companies with the scale, resources, and expertise needed to deliver outstanding service and sustainable growth.\nThe Opportunity\nThe Market Area Procurement Specialist is the local execution arm of Regional Procurement. Reporting to the Regional Director of Procurement, with a dotted-line partnership to Market Area leadership, this role works directly with suppliers, warehouse teams, field operations, and local leaders to improve purchasing discipline, inventory performance, supplier accountability, and cost efficiency. This is not a traditional purchasing desk role. The successful candidate will spend time in the field, identify breakdowns, solve problems, and translate regional and national procurement strategies into consistent local execution.\nKey Responsibilities\nSupplier Performance and Cost Control\nBuild productive supplier relationships while holding vendors accountable to negotiated pricing, service levels, and program requirements. \nConduct supplier, invoice, cost, and counter-visit audits; identify pricing discrepancies and pursue timely corrective action and credits. \nValidate rebate performance, contract utilization, and supplier compliance; escalate recurring issues with clear supporting data. \nRepresent assigned markets in supplier reviews, procurement discussions, and local negotiations within established authority. \nInventory and Warehouse Optimization\nLead warehouse and inventory reviews, including ABC analysis, cycle-count discipline, min/max settings, stockout risk, excess inventory, and obsolete material. \nPartner with operations to optimize warehouse and technician truck stock around demand, service levels, and working-capital goals. \nSupport and monitor vendor-managed inventory and consignment programs, including controls, reconciliation, and performance reporting. \nImprove material availability while reducing emergency purchases, outside spend, duplication, and unnecessary inventory investment. \nProcurement Execution and Compliance\nImplement regional and national procurement programs with local market teams and ensure requirements are understood, adopted, and sustained. \nDrive purchasing process adherence, approved-vendor utilization, purchase-order discipline, and Coupa adoption. \nTrain and support local users, resolve workflow issues, and identify root causes behind noncompliant or inefficient purchasing activity. \nPartner closely with Market Area Presidents, General Managers, warehouse leaders, service leaders, accounting, and field teams. \nM&A Integration and Continuous Improvement\nExecute procurement components of 100-day M&A plans, including supplier conversion, price-book and material implementation, purchasing controls, and inventory alignment. \nAssess acquired-company spend, vendors, inventory practices, and process gaps; establish action plans with measurable milestones. \nIdentify and deliver local sourcing, standardization, savings, cost-avoidance, and credit-recovery opportunities. \nMaintain accurate savings pipelines, implementation updates, issue logs, and performance reporting for regional and market leadership. \nQualifications\n3+ years of progressive experience in procurement, supply chain, inventory, distribution, warehouse operations, or a closely related field. \nDemonstrated ability to analyze spend, pricing, inventory, and operational data and convert findings into practical action. \nStrong supplier-management, negotiation, problem-solving, and follow-through skills. \nAdvanced Excel capability; experience with Coupa, ServiceTitan, Power BI, or similar platforms is preferred. \nAbility to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority and communicate effectively with field teams, suppliers, and senior leaders. \nHands-on, detail-oriented approach with the confidence to challenge gaps professionally and respectfully. \nExperience in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, home services, construction, or distribution is strongly preferred. \nBachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, Operations, or a related field is preferred; equivalent relevant experience will be considered. \nValid driver’s license and ability to travel regularly throughout the assigned market area, with increased travel during integrations and major implementations. \nCompensation and Benefits\nTarget total compensation: $90,000-$115,000 (base + bonus). Final compensation will be based on experience, geography, and assigned scope. Benefits include health, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off, and a company-provided fleet or rental vehicle for required travel.\nWhy This Role Matters\nProcurement performance is won or lost through local execution. This role gives each market a dedicated owner who can connect strategy to operations, protect negotiated value, improve inventory health, support growth, and create measurable financial impact. The ideal candidate will become the trusted local procurement resource for both market leadership and frontline teams.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5356,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T17:15:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":115000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/edennisacinc-procurement-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/edennisacinc-procurement-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T13:03:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19426,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4421979},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4421979"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fedennisacinc-procurement-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fedennisacinc-procurement-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fedennisacinc-procurement-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/edennisacinc-procurement-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fedennisacinc-procurement-specialist"}]}
