Job Description

565761 Buyer/Planner NPI (Plymouth, MN)

Join us as a New Product Introduction Buyer at our Plymouth, MN facility, where you’ll play a key role in driving innovation by supporting the Supply Chain Industrialization team and leading critical purchasing activities for cutting-edge medical devices.

Your role:

• Work with our Industrialization teams by submitting purchase requisitions for prototype units and managing a variety of indirect spending across IGT-D. Your primary responsibility is to ensure purchase orders are submitted as requested, with the correct version and quantity to support all project builds and tests.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with teams worldwide to resolve purchase order issues and invoice discrepancies, ensuring payments are completed on time and for the correct amount.
• Conduct tactical material planning (forecasting and handshake feedback) with internal and external suppliers and distribution centers, optimizing through the use of planning calculation methods.
• Primary stakeholders include the NPI Supply Chain Team, but the role also supports anyone within IGT-D requesting purchases via our indirect purchasing system.
• This role carries high visibility and responsibility, with direct interaction across all levels of the business—from the Management Team overseeing IGT-D to Advanced Development programs.

You're the right fit if:

• You have 5+ years of experience in progressive supply chain roles (buyer/planner, S&OP, demand planning, production scheduling) within a highly regulated, high-volume industry—medical devices or pharmaceuticals strongly preferred.
• Your skills include robust problem-solving, strong communication, proficiency in Excel, and experience using large-scale ERP systems. SAP experience is strongly preferred.
• You hold a bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (manufacturing, operations, business, supply chain, or engineering).
• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.  
• To succeed in this role, it’s important to understand our procurement procedures and work instructions, while remaining agile enough to find workarounds when obstacles arise.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

This is an office role.

About Philips:

We are a health technology company. We built our entire company around the belief that every human matters, and we won't stop until everybody, everywhere, has access to the quality of healthcare that we all deserve. Do the work of your life to help improve the lives of others.
