Sourcing & Pricing Specialist
The Sourcing & Pricing Specialist plays a key role in supporting the Purchasing Team by maintaining accurate and timely pricing, item records, and sourcing data within NetSuite. This role ensures that all products — including inventory items, serialized items, non-inventory services, and item groups — are correctly set up, priced, and updated to meet company standards and customer requirements.
Under the direction of the Purchasing Manager, you will be responsible for creating new item records, updating existing ones, managing pricing changes, and ensuring classification fields are complete and accurate. In addition to back-end item and pricing management, the Sourcing & Pricing Specialist provides direct internal customer service by handling pre-sales requests, including sourcing product availability, preparing vendor shipping quotes, and ensuring sales and project teams receive fast, reliable information.
Success in this role requires excellent attention to detail, responsiveness, and a process-driven mindset to ensure all product data and pricing in NetSuite are accurate and audit-ready. By balancing item accuracy, pricing timeliness, and internal customer support, this role directly contributes to operational efficiency and enhanced customer experience.
