Well if you went with my suggestion of coordinator I'm happy to add it to the list. :-)
Ventnai (asker) Aug 24, 2020:
Sandy, would you like to propose an answer?
Ventnai (asker) Aug 21, 2020:
Thanks, Sandy. Purchasing Manager may be confused with something else in the contract, so Coordinator sounds good :-)
Sandy Carpenter Aug 21, 2020:
I agree with Toni although I think in English (at least in the UK) this is usually referred to as the Purchasing Manager (or Coordinator or Clerk or Assistant depending on the level of seniority).
Ventnai (asker) Aug 21, 2020:
Thanks for that. It didn't come up in the search results.
Toni Castano Aug 21, 2020:
@Ian The information in this link below will help you understand the idea. "Activador" is short for "activador de compras", an expression mainly used in Latin America:
