StandardBots Internal Purchasing Specialist at StandardBots manages the end-to-end internal purchasing process for prototype parts, test fixtures, and tools. The role involves sourcing vendors, issuing POs, maintaining vendor records, and building AI-assisted workflows to automate routine requests.

Responsibilities

You're the front door for everything Standard Bots buys to build, test, and demo physical robots: prototype parts, test fixtures, shop tools, pilot and trade-show builds. Engineers and customer-facing teams count on you to get what they need fast, and you'll keep the controls tight while you do it. And you won't do it by hand forever: you'll build AI-assisted workflows so routine requests move with almost no manual touch.
This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates in the US. You'll sit on the Finance team, report to the Accounting Manager, and work closely with teams across the company.
Run the internal purchasing queue end to end: intake, clarify specs, source, buy, track delivery, and close out.
Respond to every request within one business day and turn standard purchases around the same day.
Triage urgent R&D and customer POC needs so engineering work never sits blocked waiting on a purchase.
Keep requesters posted on status, ETAs, and substitutions, so nobody has to chase you.
Find the right vendor on price, lead time, and quality, and get quotes on larger purchases.
Set up and maintain vendors in Ramp, including W-9s, payment terms, and vendor ownership.
Build a preferred-vendor list and negotiate pricing or accounts with high-volume suppliers.
Issue POs, confirm receipt, and act as vendor owner and first invoice reviewer. The Accounting Manager is the second approver.
Enforce the purchasing policy and approval thresholds, and route exceptions to the right budget owner.
Tag every purchase with the correct GL account, department, and project, so R&D, POC, and capex costs are clean at month-end.
