Job description

You’ll work in our Bloomington office and report to the Finance Manager, partnering with teams across the company. You’ll help carry purchasing from request to receipt and keep our inventory accurate, both Blackwood-owned and customer-owned.

It’s more than placing orders. You’ll see how a purchase moves from request to approval, PO, delivery, and payment, and how inventory moves from receipt to count to customer report. You’ll also have a real chance to help make both run more smoothly.

What You’ll Do

Procurement

• Manage purchase requisitions and route them through the right approvals
• Issue purchase orders accurately and on time
• Make sure goods and services are received and recorded promptly in our system
• Work with vendors and internal teams to resolve PO, receipt, and invoice mismatches
• Track purchasing metrics, like cycle times and spend under a PO, and suggest improvements
• Support receiving and put-away so inventory is recorded accurately and on time
• Coordinate cycle counts and physical inventories, then investigate and document variances
• Help reconcile inventory to the general ledger each month
• Keep customer-owned inventory tracked separately from Blackwood stock
• Prepare customer inventory reports

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years in purchasing, procurement, inventory control, or a similar role
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Strong Excel skills and comfort learning new systems (Sage Intacct and Maximo experience is a plus)
• Curiosity about how AI can help automate routine work and improve accuracy
• Experience in an industrial, distribution, or warehouse setting is a plus

What We Offer

• Full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
• A steady Monday to Friday, 8 to 5 schedule
• On-site role in our Bloomington, Indiana office
• A stable, growing company with room for a long-term career
• A team that treats you like a person, not a number

Blackwood Solutions is an equal opportunity employer.
