Purchasing Jobs in Diamond Bar, CA

A Purchaser in the retail industry, also known as a Buyer, plays a crucial role in managing the acquisition of products or services for a retail store or chain. They are responsible for finding, evaluating, and acquiring products that meet their company's needs and are of the best quality and price.
