• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: Work closely with supply chain, demand planning, procurement, manufacturing, sales, and finance teams to maintain effective inventory parameters, resolve MRP exceptions, and embed best practices. Build productive relationships across multiple locations and cultures.
• Continuous Improvement & Governance: Lead initiatives to improve inventory processes, data quality, and controls. Support regional governance reviews and capability development. Act as a subject matter expert, providing coaching and guidance to planners and stakeholders.
• Safety First: Demonstrate 100% commitment to our zero harm behaviors in support of our drive towards developing a world-class safety culture.
