Purchasing Representative
Support our procurement process end to end — source suppliers, collect and compare quotations, raise purchase orders and follow deliveries through to receipt. This is an entry-level role open to fresh graduates: any bachelor's (BSc) degree is accepted and full on-the-job training is given.
About the Role
We are seeking a results-driven and detail-oriented Purchasing Representative to manage our procurement processes, supplier negotiations and inventory sourcing. The ideal candidate will be responsible for evaluating vendor proposals, securing competitive pricing, issuing purchase orders, and ensuring the timely delivery of materials and services in line with company standards.
This is an entry-level position. We are happy to hear from fresh graduates and from candidates moving into procurement from another field — what matters is that you are numerate, organised, careful with detail and willing to learn. Training on our systems and procedures is given.
Key Responsibilities
- Sourcing and supplier management — identify, evaluate and onboard qualified local and international suppliers and vendors
- Build and maintain strong, sustainable relationships with suppliers to secure favourable business terms
- Maintain an updated supplier database with pricing records, lead times and performance ratings
- Procurement and order execution — review purchase requisitions from internal departments and ensure budgetary approvals
- Prepare, issue and track formal Purchase Orders (POs), ensuring accurate specifications and quantities
- Follow up with vendors on delivery schedules, shipment tracking and order fulfilment
- Negotiation and cost optimization — negotiate prices, payment terms, warranties and delivery terms to achieve cost savings without compromising quality
- Obtain competitive quotations (RFQs) and perform comparative commercial evaluations
- Compliance and logistics coordination — coordinate with logistics, customs clearance and warehouse teams to ensure smooth material receipt
- Verify delivery notes, invoices and purchase orders against received goods and resolve discrepancies
- Ensure full compliance with company procurement policies and local Saudi regulations, including Saber system compliance where applicable
Required Qualifications
- Education: a bachelor's (BSc) degree in any discipline — no specific subject is required
- Experience: entry level. No prior procurement experience is necessary; fresh graduates are welcome to apply
- Comfortable with the MS Office suite, particularly Excel — you will spend a good part of your day in a comparison sheet
- Numerate and accurate, with the patience to check a quotation line by line
- Good English, written and verbal, for supplier correspondence
Preferred / Desirable
- Arabic language fluency is a strong advantage
- Any exposure to purchasing, stores, logistics or sales — through work, an internship or a university project
- Familiarity with an ERP system (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo or similar)
- A valid Saudi driving licence
Skills & Competencies
- Clear, polite communication — most of this job is asking people for things and following up
- Organised, with the discipline to keep a tracker up to date every single day
- Able to juggle several open orders at once without letting one slip
- Commercially curious — you want to understand why one quotation is cheaper than another
What We Offer
- Employment type: full-time
- Work location: on-site, Saudi Arabia
- Competitive salary package
- Medical insurance and annual leave
- End-of-service benefits in accordance with Saudi Labor Law
