Purchasing Specialist - Edmonton, Alberta

Purchasing Specialist, Full-Time

Job Location: Edmonton, Remote Work

Do you enjoy the vehicle buying process, but rather do it not using your own $$? Well, we’ve got the perfect opportunity for you to become an Automotive Purchasing Specialist; guru/superstar of the purchasing world, if you will. Bye-bye reporting for duty at an office every day; this is a remote position (must be located in Alberta). We’re looking for someone with amazing interpersonal skills who gets pretty excited about connecting with people to find vehicles. Are you sitting forward in your chair with excitement? Well, lean in further and apply to work with one of Canada’s fastest-growing motor groups. We can’t wait to chat! (insert wink emoji)

• Meet with sellers to negotiate final purchase price while providing excellent customer service.

• Assist with remarketing wholesale inventory - maintain accurate inventory counts, work with marketing to list units, assist in assessing vehicle value, maximizing return and time to market.

To succeed, we are looking for someone who: 

• Has experience and has a love for sales + buying - you've done this kind of thing before, and you have a knack for it
• Purchasing/Procurement background? We'd love to talk!
• We'll provide you with the training, but it would be great if you have the low-down of the buying, negotiation and pricing process.
• We start our relationship from a place of trust, so we are looking for someone who is mature, is a self-starter and can work effectively on their own
• We have an incredible cross-functional team that works together from multiple provinces, so we are looking for another champion with an awesome attitude to join the crew.
