Lead effective escalations with senior supplier management as appropriate.
Supplier Development – Take full responsibility for the performance, development, and relationship management of assigned suppliers. Lead supplier business reviews, drive performance improvement initiatives, effectively escalate risks, and advance supplier capability development through structured improvement plans.
Continuous Improvement – Lead continuous improvement and best practices initiatives across the supply chain and wider business with a prime focus on operational process optimisation.
Change Management – Support or lead the implementation of New Product Introduction (NPI) activities and Engineering Change processes, ensuring robust, efficient, and timely transitions on applicable parts. Potential to represent supply chain on larger change projects.
Data Integrity & Reporting – Maintain the highest level of accuracy and consistency across all procurement related data and systems.
Risk and Compliance – Actively manages risk and compliance across allocated suppliers achieved by maintaining accurate risk and compliance documentation, and engaging suppliers in corrective and preventive actions to ensure ongoing adherence to contractual, ethical, regulatory, quality and audit requirements.
