Senior Purchasing Manager

A day in the life of a Senior Purchasing Manager:

As a Senior Purchasing Manager at our company, you play a crucial role in overseeing the performance of trade partners, analyzing house costs and variances, and adhering to neighborhood planning processes and community set-up guidelines. Your typical work week consists of three days in the office and a minimum of two field visits per month. Your day begins with a review of your calendar and organizing your priorities. You check in with your team members, providing mentorship and guidance to ensure they are on track for executing key departmental initiatives. You'll be responsible for analyzing house costs and variances to identify areas for improvement, migrating applicable purchasing prices from lump sum to material item cost and quantity take-offs, creating base house, elevation, and included option budget estimates for new products and neighborhoods. This includes providing direct cost assumptions for feasibility studies and ensuring the promotion of "the Stanley Martin Way" to limit legal and financial exposure. You will also maintain and update various systems, elevation, and option costs; competitive market costs and labor/material demands (bids); and department systems and procedures for efficiency. You will also ensure the distribution and ratification of Master Contracts and process work order revisions as required.
