Responsibilities

1. Process Definition & Execution (Invoicing & Weight Management)

Strategic Alignment : Lead discussions with internal stakeholders (e.g., Sourcing, Finance, Production, Quality) to define and standardize the company's approach to precious metal weight. This includes:

• Establishing a clear, documented standard weight definition that aligns with industry best practices and our operational needs.
• Defining acceptable tolerances for weight discrepancies between supplier shipments and our internal measurements.
• Developing and implementing a robust methodology for monitoring real weight at every stage from receipt to consumption.

Supplier Recovery Protocols : Develop and implement clear protocols for addressing and recovering losses incurred due to supplier deviations from agreed-upon weight specifications. This includes managing claims, returns, and credit notes.

Invoicing Switch Management : Oversee the complete transition to real-weight invoicing with all precious metal suppliers, including input for sourcing teams for renegotiations and system adjustments.

2. Purchase Price Variance (PPV) Management

Variance Analysis : Establish and manage a comprehensive PPV tracking system specifically for precious metals. Analyse variances stemming from weight discrepancies (real vs. standard) and price fluctuations.

Reporting : Generate detailed PPV reports to highlight financial impacts and inform strategic sourcing decisions.

3. Tools & Monitoring (Data Analytics & Reporting)

Report Development : Design, develop, and implement analytical reports and dashboards to provide granular insights into precious metal weight data. Key reports will monitor: Weight Data Distribution, Supplier Performance & Material Yields.

Performance Animation : Lead and animate internal cross-functional follow-up meetings to review key metrics, provide visibility to savings achievements, discuss open projects related to weight optimization, and address supplier deviations.
