• Build strong relationships with senior customer stakeholders, acting as the primary operational contact and escalation point.
• Work closely with CEVA's local and international teams to implement established operational standards, systems and best practices.
• Champion a proactive safety culture and ensure compliance with all relevant workplace health, safety, quality and security requirements.
• Identify and deliver continuous improvement initiatives to optimise efficiency, quality and customer experience.
