Shauna’s Answer

In addition to the above you might also be required to:
- submit purchase orders prior to ordering supplies or submitting invoices for payment
- liaising with suppliers - if they have questions, you might need to know to whom you'd direct their questions
- you might become the 'go to' person in your company because you have your finger on the pulse of all the activities
- you might also be involved with onboarding new staff
