Buyer

You turn REQUESTS into ACTION.

The Opportunity

In this detail-driven and highly collaborative role, you’ll play a critical part in keeping AMA’s operations moving. As a Buyer, you’ll be responsible for executing purchasing activities that support AMA’s end-to-end source-to-pay (S2P) process. You’ll ensure approved requisitions are accurately converted into purchase orders, processed in compliance with procurement policies, and completed in a timely manner.

Working closely with Finance, Legal, various business units and suppliers, you’ll provide hands-on transactional support that ensures accuracy, consistency, and continuity across sourcing, purchasing, and payment activities. Through disciplined execution and strong attention to detail, you’ll help maintain procurement integrity, audit readiness, and smooth day-to-day operations.

If you enjoy working within established processes, take pride in accuracy, and like being the go-to resource for procurement support, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to contribute to AMA’s success.
