Purchasing Assistant – Inventory & Operations
Chantilly, VA | On-Site, Monday–Friday
About Mosaic
Mosaic is a growing interiors distributor supporting builders and designers with cabinetry, tile, lighting, plumbing, and more. With 9 locations and a central servicing center, our Purchasing team plays an important role in keeping products moving, inventory accurate, and supplier relationships strong.
We are looking for an organized, dependable, detail-oriented person who enjoys problem-solving and communicating with others to join our Purchasing team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is early in their career or a recent college graduate and interested in building a career in Purchasing, Supply Chain, Operations, or a related field. Previous Purchasing experience is helpful, but we are willing to train the right person.
This is a fully on-site, office-based position in Chantilly, VA. It is not a warehouse or physical labor role.
What You’ll Do
You’ll work closely with our Purchasing team, suppliers, and internal locations to help make sure orders are accurate and products arrive when needed.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Review purchase orders for accuracy
• Track open orders and follow up with suppliers on order status and delivery dates
• Communicate with suppliers and internal teams regarding orders, product availability, and delivery updates
• Enter and maintain accurate product costs and pricing in our inventory system
• Learn our purchasing systems, processes, products, and supplier relationships

Requirements

What We’re Looking For
We’re more interested in how you work and your ability to learn than in having years of Purchasing experience.
The person who succeeds in this role will be:

• Dependable and reliable – consistently present and ready to work as scheduled
• A strong communicator – responds promptly, keeps others informed, and communicates when an issue or delay arises
• Organized and detail-oriented – able to keep track of multiple orders, dates, and follow-ups
• A good problem-solver – willing to investigate an issue and find the next step rather than letting it sit
• Comfortable working with numbers and computer systems
• Able to manage multiple priorities and follow through on commitments
• A team player who works well with coworkers, suppliers, and other Mosaic locations
• Willing to learn and take on increasing responsibility

Experience with Excel, ERP/Inventory systems, Purchasing, Supply Chain, Operations, or Inventory is a plus, but not required.
A degree or coursework in Business, Supply Chain, Operations, Logistics, or a related field is helpful, but we will also consider candidates with other educational or professional backgrounds who demonstrate strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
