Deployment Planner and Purchasing Officer

Position Overview

The Deployment Planner and Purchasing role sits within the Deployment team and is responsible for ensuring inventory and material readiness to support confirmed sales orders and deployment schedules, while owning the purchasing process end-to-end.

This role plans inventory and purchasing based on signed quotations and actual project timelines, rather than long-term or speculative demand forecasts, ensuring materials are sourced, ordered, and available at the right time to support deployments while avoiding unnecessary overstock or urgent, premium-cost purchasing.

The role balances operational readiness with cash flow and working capital considerations, understanding the financial impact of buying too early, holding excess inventory, or delaying purchases.

The Deployment Planner and Purchasing works closely with Sales, Deployment, Finance, and external vendors, using structured data (primarily in Airtable, our central system for inventory and project tracking), system reports, analysis, and regular reporting to support accurate and timely purchasing and inventory decisions.
