Our open platform and Geotab Marketplace, featuring hundreds of third-party solution options, enable both small and large businesses to automate operations by integrating vehicle data with other data assets.


 


We process billions of data points daily, leveraging data analytics and machine learning to improve productivity, optimize fleets through reduced fuel consumption, enhance driver safety, and achieve strong compliance with regulatory changes.

Our team is growing, and we seek individuals who follow their passion, think differently, and wish to make an impact. We operate in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. Geotabbers accept this challenge and are willing to take on new tasks and activities – ones that may not always be described in the initial job description.

The Role


We are seeking a Senior Procurement Specialist. As a member of the Procurement team, you will collaborate with various departments, vendors, and stakeholders to develop and implement procurement strategies that align with our business objectives.

  • Ensure that all purchases are made in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures, adhering to ethical and legal standards, and following established procurement guidelines.
  • Maintain purchase order accuracy (e.g., quantities, pricing, ship dates, delivery dates, payment terms) and system data accuracy (e.g., lead-times, minimums, minimum order quantity (MOQ), pricing, reorder point levels) to enable the effectiveness of key systems (D365, MyAdmin) and processes.
  • Support new product launches by sharing drawings with CMs and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders to review samples/betas to ensure products are set up to be ordered in an efficient and scalable way.
  • Manage engineering change order(s) (ECO)/engineering change notification (ECN) with internal stakeholders and coordinate necessary product specification revisions and deviations as needed with suppliers.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends, best practices, and technological advancements in procurement, continually seeking opportunities for innovation and improvement.
  • Monitor supplier performance on an ongoing basis, assessing their compliance with contractual obligations, quality standards, and delivery schedules.
  • Collaborate with suppliers to address any performance issues or identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Foster and maintain relationships with suppliers, nurturing open communication channels and promoting collaboration to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
  • Assist leadership in procurement reports, quarterly audits, process improvements, and other strategies/tasks as required.

 


Requirements



  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Commerce, Supply Chain Management, or related field.
  • Equivalent combination of education and/or work experience in a related field may be substituted.
  • 5-8 years in a procurement or supply chain role.
  • Strong knowledge of resource planning software, such as Microsoft Dynamics D365.
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers (CMs) for purchase order management, price negotiations, and ensuring continuity of supply.
  • Past experience in new product launches and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Managed engineering change orders (ECOs) and engineering change notifications (ECNs).

 


Why Choose Geotab


At Geotab, we offer competitive medical and dental benefits, retirement savings programs, flexible working arrangements, home office reimbursement, baby bonus and parental leave top-up programs, online learning and networking opportunities, and an electric vehicle purchase incentive program.


 


How We Work
