A '''Purchasing Manager''' is an employee within a [[company]], [[business]] or other [[organization]] who is responsible at some level for buying or approving the acquisition of goods and services needed by the company. The position responsibilities may be the same as that of a [[buyer]] or purchasing agent, or may include wider supervisory or managerial responsibilities.

A Purchasing Manager often supervises purchasing agents and buyers, but in small companies the Purchasing Manager may also be the purchasing agent or buyer.
