Educational science company is looking for a remote procurement specialist to source and purchase components for an educational science kit for kids. Involves about 50 different items that need to be sourced and purchased over the course of a few weeks.
Pay rate: $77,000/year, initially short-term (3 months).
Our company produces educational science videos that are used by millions of students, and is expanding into physical products for the first time (science kit). The kit has been designed and now all the components need to be sourced and purchased.
Must have experience: Searching for obscure hard-to-find items, getting samples quickly, negotiating & placing orders for quantities of 5,000-100,000 per item. Working with China/Alibaba, and ultimately doing exhaustive research on the options on the market, working quickly, and having a “whatever it takes to get it done” attitude.
This is listed as short-term (3 months) because we do not know if this science kit product will be a hit. if it is successful, this job continues for years, if it does not, then there are no more items to procure.
Examples of items to source:
– 365nm LED flashlight with 1AA battery under $1.50
– Glow in the dark powder (zinc sulfide-based) for under $50/kg
– Keychain LED light in 5 different colors, each under $0.25.
– Flexible water bottles with a wide opening, clear, under $0.75
Job Types: Full-time, Temporary
Pay: $77,000.00 per year
