About the Role
– Procurement Coordinator (Remote, LATAM) This is an operational procurement role. You will own the details of purchase orders from vendor acknowledgement to delivery: checking that every order is correct, confirming it with vendors, and following it until it ships. You will be the link between our vendors, sales teams and clients, so everyone knows where each order stands. This role is not about selecting vendors or negotiating contracts. It is about accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. What you will do
• Review vendor acknowledgements for accuracy: pricing, quantities, product specifications, ship-to location and ship dates.
• Resolve discrepancies between purchase orders and vendor acknowledgements, contacting the vendor with the exact error and the correct information.
• Follow up proactively with vendors who have not sent acknowledgements on time, including by phone to confirm orders.
• Monitor order status to confirm shipments are on schedule, and obtain and verify tracking information once orders ship.
• Keep accurate records of all vendor communications and order status updates in our order management system and internal tracker.
• Keep teams and clients informed (project managers, sales teams and clients) about order status, delays or issues.
• Escalate recurring vendor issues or delays to management and support improvements to our vendor-tracking process.
• Create and maintain client SOPs.
• Other duties as assigned. What we are looking for
• At least 2 years of experience in procurement. Administrative experience is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with purchase orders and vendor follow-up, using an ERP or order management system (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite or similar).
• English proficiency at a B2–C1 level, spoken and written. You will speak with vendors by phone.
• Strong attention to detail and the organizational skills to manage many orders at once.
• Clear communication with vendors and internal teams.
• Knowledge of procurement vocabulary and processes.
• Ability to work independently and solve problems without constant supervision.
• Degree in Business Administration or a related field preferred. Why Avanto
• Remote work from anywhere.
• Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Weekends off.
• 10 days of paid time off per year.
• Sign-on bonus upon hire.
• Referral bonus for recommending top talent.
• A team in a growing company that rewards performance. Equal Opportunity Statement AVANTO is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
