A nationally recognized wholesale and retail organization - serving restaurants, hospitality groups, and specialty grocers - is expanding its beverage division. They are seeking a commercially minded Senior Beverage Buyer to shape category strategy, strengthen supplier partnerships, and keep fast-moving inventory flowing smoothly. This high-impact role will own end-to-end procurement for beer, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages, helping the company delight customers and outpace the market.

This Role Offers :

  • Competitive base salary with performance bonus potential.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
  • Company-matched 401(k).
  • Hybrid flexibility - work from home once a week after training.
  • Career-long learning resources and clear paths for advancement.

Focus :

  • Build and execute sourcing strategies that balance cost, quality, and supply continuity for all beverage categories.
  • Cultivate long-term partnerships with national and regional beverage suppliers, negotiating pricing, volume incentives, and marketing programs.
  • Analyze demand signals with Excel, BI dashboards, and POS data to forecast accurately and maintain optimal service levels.
  • Lead cross-functional planning for seasonal promotions, new item launches, and limited-time offers, ensuring flawless execution and post-event analysis.
  • Monitor key metrics - gross margin, turns, aging inventory, on-time fill rates—and drive corrective action when targets are missed.
  • Champion risk-mitigation plans to address market volatility, regulatory shifts, and logistics disruptions.
  • Mentor junior buyers and analysts, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and data-driven decision making.
  • Partner with finance and AP teams to reconcile invoices and resolve variances quickly.
  • Align all purchasing activity with company policies and relevant federal, state, and local beverage regulations.
  • Skill Set :

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, or a related field.
  • 7 plus years of progressive buying, category management, or procurement experience within a high-volume retail, wholesale, or foodservice environment.
  • Demonstrated success negotiating beverage or perishable categories.
  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, XLOOKUP, Power Query) and familiarity with ERP or purchasing platforms.
  • Skilled communicator who influences vendors and cross-functional peers.
  • Proven ability to juggle multiple priorities in a deadline-driven setting.
