About The Company
ADRobotics is building a new venture focused on next\-generation robotics, developing intelligent service robots that operate safely and efficiently in human environments. Backed by a strong institutional platform and supported by a leading incubator, the venture aims to improve productivity, safety, and efficiency across high\-impact industries through the deployment of versatile robotic solutions.
About The Role
We're hiring a Buyer to manage day\-to\-day tactical purchasing for ADRobotics.
This role is responsible for issuing and expediting purchase orders, managing supplier delivery commitments, and resolving day\-to\-day procurement issues to keep production supplied on time. It sits within the Supply Chain pillar, working alongside Sourcing (which owns strategic contracts and supplier selection) to execute against agreed pricing and terms.
Key Responsibilities
* Convert approved purchase requisitions and MRP\-generated demand into purchase orders in the ERP system, within the pricing, terms, and supplier agreements set by Sourcing.
* Track order acknowledgements, confirm lead times, and expedite or de\-expedite POs in response to changing production schedules.
* Monitor open PO status and proactively flag late deliveries, shortages, or quality holds to Planning and Production Supervision.
* Resolve day\-to\-day supplier issues (invoice mismatches, packing discrepancies, delivery exceptions) in coordination with Receiving and Accounts Payable.
* Maintain accurate purchasing records, supplier lead times, and pricing data in the ERP to support reliable MRP planning.
* Support supplier onboarding administration (vendor setup, documentation) as directed by Sourcing.
* Run routine spend and on\-time\-delivery reporting for assigned commodities/suppliers.
* Escalate recurring supplier performance issues to Sourcing for contractual or strategic resolution.
