Nox Metals Supply Chain Associate at Nox Metals to quickly source and purchase metals for aerospace and defense manufacturers. Act as broker between sales and metals market ensuring fast quotes and deliveries.
Responsibilities
A large share of what sales quotes isn't on our floor. You are the broker between our sales team and the metals market: quote it the same day, buy it the hour we win, truck it in, and land it on our dock before anyone asks where it is. You will work closely with sales, supply chain, finance, operations, and the engineers building Nox's quoting and purchasing tools.
Success looks like. Same-business-day MSR-to-quote time, same-day award-to-PO time, on-time delivery to the dock date you gave operations, sales won on your quoting, purchases made below par, and new suppliers onboarded.

Write purchase orders the day we win and see them through: acknowledgments, ship dates, substitutions, split heats
