The Laser team delivers highly technical project work that depends on the timely availability of components, services, and consumables.

If you’re structured, reliable, and enjoy turning messy workflows into something clear and predictable, this role gives you hands-on experience at the intersection of operations, procurement, and technical teams. WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Creating and submitting purchase requests and orders in the internal procurement system based on input from project managers and technical teams - Tracking order confirmations, delivery dates, and shipment status, and proactively following up when timelines change - Identifying recurring issues or bottlenecks and helping improve the process through, templates, checklists, standardized request intake and implementation of automation and AI Tools. - Maintaining a clear and simple overview (e.g. tracker or dashboard) of open orders and delivery status for the Laser team - Coordinating with procurement and finance on invoice alignment, PO matching, cost center clarification, and documentation completeness - Acting
