 Partner with Finance and Legal to ensure company interests are represented in supplier contracts.

 Ensure inventory management levels adhere to established inventory targets while supporting lean continuous-improvement initiatives to deliver optimal results in cost, quality, delivery, and inventory performance.

 Support Design Engineering for both new product development and engineering changes to existing products, including liaison duties related to new products and/or redesign builds.

 Maintain timely control and retention of all procurement records, shipping notices, and documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance.  Perform other duties as assigned.

Personal Attributes:

 High level of energy and perseverance, with a consistently positive and resilient attitude in a fast-paced environment.

 Results-driven and action-oriented, demonstrating a hands-on approach and a strong commitment to achieving goals and improving outcomes.

 Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities, with the capability to navigate complex issues and determine effective solutions.

 Clear and confident communicator, able to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels across the organization.

 Skilled at building trust and managing conflict, using influence and collaboration to guide discussions and drive successful results.

 Uncompromising integrity, consistently demonstrating respect, professionalism, and sound judgment in all interactions.

Experience

 Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive measurable results in support of organizational goals.

 Strong, proven project management skills, including the ability to plan, coordinate, prioritize, and execute multiple initiatives simultaneously.

 Solid leadership capabilities, with strength in prioritization, delegation, and guiding tasks to completion.

 Experience in supplier management, including performance evaluation, relationship development, and issue resolution.

 Familiarity with operational processes in a manufacturing environment, contributing to informed sourcing and supplier selection decisions.
