Support multiple buyers and assistant buyers by keeping purchase orders, item data, and key details accurate and up to date.

Every day brings a mix of entering, revising, and tracking import and domestic purchase orders while meeting department, vendor, seasonal, and import deadlines.

You'll handle UPC retrieval and maintenance, item setup for import, domestic, and private label products, and creation and revision of item and location lists.

Maintaining accurate cost information and supporting item cost changes keeps our systems aligned with business decisions.

You'll also support the team with expense report processing and other administrative tasks that keep the merchant organization running smoothly.
