Global Commodity Buyer, Musical Instruments

Europe, Remote

Production

We're looking for a hands-on Global Commodity Buyer to own purchasing for two of Hal Leonard's core direct-material categories: Sheet Music and Musical Instruments. This is a newly structured seat under our Global Purchasing function — the first of a new model where each buyer owns a defined set of commodities end-to-end, rather than a single narrow category.

We are actively integrating AI and automation into all areas of the business and expect candidates with a mindset focused on improving efficiency and delivering a better user experience.

Key responsibilities

Required experience

• 4–7+ years in purchasing / buying / commodity management, ideally in musical instruments, consumer electronics or consumer goods and across more than one country or region.

• Hands-on ownership of the full buy cycle: sourcing, PO management, order confirmation, supplier communication, master-data hygiene.

• AI-comfort as a must, not a footnote — sees AI-assisted approval and automated PO workflows as leverage; can judge what to automate vs. keep human.

• Strong supplier-negotiation instinct; a track record of documented savings or supplier consolidation.

• Discipline with data — clean records, accurate price files, no "it's all in my head" working.

Nice to have:

• Direct-material category experience in paper / print, publishing, or musical instruments.

• Prior purchasing inside an ERP migration (NetSuite a plus).

• Bachelor's in Business, Supply Chain or related; CPSM / CPM.
