Full job description
Why This Role Matters
The Purchasing Agent / Buyer is the commercial backbone of Shepherd’s inventory engine. Every product that moves through our branches, every fill rate we achieve or miss, every vendor relationship that holds or frays — it traces back to how well this role executes.
This is not a transactional purchasing job. This is the role responsible for managing supplier relationships, optimizing inventory investment, and keeping six branches stocked with the right products at the right cost. You own the line, not just the order. You anticipate gaps before they become customer problems, negotiate with purpose, and make decisions grounded in data — Turns, GMROI, and lead times are your language.
If you know electrical distribution, understand how buying decisions ripple through a company, and want to work where your work is felt by real customers on real jobsites — this role was built for you.
How This Role Connects to Our Compass
We Keep Our Promises: Your purchasing decisions determine whether our branches can fulfill sales commits. When a product is out of stock, backordered, or mispriced, customers feel it. Your job is to prevent that — through disciplined replenishment, vendor accountability, and proactive communication when exceptions arise.
We Stay Hungry: The best buyers do not wait for problems — they surface trends in the data, challenge vendor terms, and constantly ask whether inventory is working as hard as it should. You bring curiosity and commercial instinct to every line you manage.
We Grow Together: Purchasing does not operate in isolation. You work alongside sales, warehouse, and branch leadership — and your decisions affect all of them. You share what you know, flag what matters, and treat cross-functional coordination as part of your responsibilities.
We Own It: When a product fails, a rebate goes uncaptured, or a supplier misses a commitment — you do not pass it along. You investigate, you resolve, and you make sure it does not happen again. Ownership at this level means the business can count on you.
We Go Above & Beyond: You anticipate stock gaps before they become missed orders. You find the better deal before pricing becomes a barrier. You understand our customers’ business well enough to stock what they will need before they know to ask.
Key Outcomes
Organized by what matters, not just what you do.
Procurement & Inventory Management
Own procurement and inventory management across assigned product lines for all branch locations
Maintain appropriate stock levels that balance service levels against working capital — measured by Turns, GMROI, service levels and fill rates
Manage the full distribution lifecycle for stock and nonstock products — from new products introductions through discontinuation
Monitor vendor lead times, identify gaps before they become outages, and take corrective action proactively
Find solutions to inventory issues with cost competitive alternatives
Coordinate inbound freight flow with warehouse operations to ensure receiving accuracy and minimal disruption
Vendor Relationships & Negotiation
Develop and maintain productive working relationships with manufacturer representatives and vendor contacts
Negotiate pricing, payment terms, and program structures that improve Shepherd’s competitive position
Track, manage, and capture line-specific rebate and program dollars — none should be left on the table
Evaluate new product offerings with discipline: not everything belongs in stock, and you gather the information to make the final decision
Hold vendors accountable to commitments — on pricing, delivery, returns and program terms
Data & System Integrity
Maintain accurate product file data in Eclipse, SKU-level detail, and warehouse quantity management
Use Turns, GMROI, and other performance metrics to guide restocking decisions and line reviews
Identify and correct pricing or cost discrepancies before they affect branch operations or customer invoicing
Support data integrity across the purchasing system — clean data is not someone else’s problem
Cross-Functional Coordination
Partner with sales teams to respond to product inquiries, source specials, and support customer needs in real time
Collaborate with warehouse leadership on inbound flow, receiving accuracy, and inventory discrepancy resolution
Communicate proactively with branch management and executive leadership when supply or pricing issues affect service levels
Participate in vendor line reviews and program evaluations with cross-functional input
What Success Looks Like
After 90 days, you and your supervisor should both be able to point to these markers:
Assigned product lines are stocked appropriately across all branches with no preventable outages
Turns and GMROI metrics are understood, tracked, and trending in the right direction
Vendor relationships are active and productive — not reactive
Rebate programs and line-specific incentives are captured, not left on the table
Product file data in Eclipse is clean, current, and reliable
Sales and branch teams trust your lines and come to you first when something is wrong
Who Thrives Here
This role is a strong fit if:
You own your lines — stock performance, cost accuracy, and vendor relationships are yours, not someone else’s problem
You make decisions from data, not instinct alone — and you know which metrics matter in distribution
You communicate early — with vendors, with sales, with management — and you don’t let problems age
You negotiate with discipline and know what terms are important to Shepherd
You treat inventory discrepancies as signals requiring investigation, not exceptions to close out
You want to work where purchasing decisions have a direct and visible impact on customer outcomes
Qualifications & Requirements
High school diploma or equivalent required; college degree or equivalent distribution experience preferred
2+ years of purchasing, procurement, or buying experience in wholesale distribution — electrical distribution experience strongly preferred
Working knowledge of purchasing fundamentals as they apply to trade distribution, including Turns, GMROI, fill rates, service levels and rebate management
Familiarity with accounting practices and cost/pricing terminology
Strong negotiation, communication, and organizational skills
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Windows OS environments
Experience with Epicor Eclipse Distribution Software is a significant plus
Familiarity with volume rebate programs and the benefits of group purchasing programs
Commodity buying experience a plus
Knowledge of electrical products is a plus
Ability to successfully complete pre-employment screening requirements
Work Shift and Hours:Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm, in office
Compensation Details:The expected base salary for this position is starting at $65,000-$90,000 annually depending on experience.
