Role Overview:

Bee Windows seeks a strong Purchasing Agent. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role responsible for managing approximately $9–$10 million in annual product orders across windows, doors, siding, bath, and gutters. This role owns the entire purchasing function from end to end, serving as the critical checkpoint between sales, field measurement, and vendor fulfillment. The Purchasing Agent ensures every order is accurate before it goes out the door, catching errors in contracts and measure forms that could otherwise result in significant financial loss.

Beyond accuracy, this role sits at the intersection of every major job flow and has real opportunity to shape how the purchasing function operates, including identifying process gaps, implementing new systems, and potentially leveraging AI and tracking tools to streamline operations. For someone who wants ownership, visibility, and the chance to make a measurable impact, this role delivers all three.

Responsibilities:

• Order windows, doors, siding, bath, gutters, and other primary products from vendors.

• Review contracts and measure forms before purchasing to verify colors, sizing, and specifications are accurate and complete.

• Maintain accuracy across high volume, complex contracts, some of which include up to 40 line items.

• Identify opportunities to improve purchasing processes and implement new tools or systems.

• Serve as a key driver of operational efficiency and financial accuracy across the purchasing function.

• Ability to work effectively with a team of four and bridge communication gaps with remote colleagues.

• The ability to translate technical measurements and sales jargon into accurate data entries.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where hiring and execution are top priorities.
