Material Planner 2
Location: 1000 New Horizons Way, Vacaville California 95688
Duration: 12-Month Contract (Potential for Extension or Conversion)
Pay Rate: $45-$51/hr(W2) Based On experience
Benefits: Weekly pay, Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage

Summary:
This role is ideal for a supply chain professional who thrives at the intersection of procurement and analytics.
While titled as an MRP Planner, this position functions primarily as an external-facing Buyer/Procurement Specialist rather than an internal scheduler. You will focus heavily on supplier management, procurement execution, and leveraging modern software tools to optimize our supply chain.
 
Job Duties:
  • Procurement & Buyer Operations: Convert MRP/MPS requirements into purchase requisitions and purchase orders. Manage external suppliers to ensure timely delivery of materials.
  • Supplier Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for external vendors, resolving supply chain issues, expediting orders, and managing delivery performance.
  • Analytics & Dashboarding: Leverage data tools to analyze supply chain metrics. Design, build, and maintain performance dashboards to track on-time delivery, supplier reliability, and inventory levels.
  • Inventory & Risk Management: Monitor inventory levels proactively to identify potential shortages, excess stock, and supplier risks, implementing swift corrective action.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Manufacturing, Quality, R&D, and Finance to ensure material readiness for production and New Product Introductions (NPI).
 
Candidate Qualifications
Must-Haves:
  • ERP Experience: Proven hands-on experience using ERP systems. Oracle or NetSuite experience is highly preferred (over SAP).
  • Technical & Analytical Skills:
    • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
    • Strong proficiency in Power BI with a genuine passion for analytics, data interpretation, and creating functional dashboards.
    • A natural curiosity for exploring and mastering new software tools.
  • Procurement Background: Prior experience as a Junior Buyer, Senior Buyer, or Procurement Specialist focusing on supplier-facing management rather than purely internal planning.
Nice-to-Haves:
  • Experience using Fabriq or similar supply chain collaboration platforms.
  • Experience in a highly regulated Biotech/FDA-regulated environment (though any manufacturing industry experience is highly valued).
  • Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Business Administration, Operations Management, or equivalent relevant experience.
