Procurement and Purchasing Manager
Procurement and Purchasing Managers find the best companies to supply things a business needs - from paper to raw materials. They negotiate deals, watch costs, and make sure deliveries happen on time so the business runs smoothly.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
