Procurement Coordinator

**Job description**

At Natural Immix, we're passionate about bringing the best natural food supplements to health-conscious consumers worldwide. As we continue to grow and expand our reach, we're looking for a talented Purchasing Coordinator to join our dynamic team and help us navigate the complexities of global supply chains. Imagine being at the heart of our international operations, orchestrating the journey of our premium ingredients from source to shelf.

As our new Purchasing Coordinator, you'll be the key player connecting our suppliers, logistics partners, and internal teams, ensuring that our high-quality supplements reach our customers efficiently and cost-effectively. Your day might start with negotiating rates with freight forwarders for a shipment of rare raw materials from supplier, then shift to collaborating with our sales team to optimize distribution routes for a new product launch.

You'll be the go-to expert for customs regulations, maneuvering through the intricacies of international trade to keep our supply chain running smoothly. We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and has a keen eye for detail. You'll need at least two years of experience in procurement or supply chain management, with a focus on ocean freight and customs clearance. Your proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite will be put to good use as you maintain meticulous records and forecast inventory needs.

At Natural Immix, we value diversity and global perspectives. If you're fluent in Korean or Chinese, that would be a significant asset as we strengthen our relationships with suppliers and expand into new markets. As part of our close-knit team, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact on our business.

We're committed to continuous improvement, and we'll look to you for innovative ideas to streamline our procurement processes and mitigate supply chain risks. If you're ready to take on this challenging role and help us bring nature's best to the world, we want to hear from you.
