• Establish and monitor KPIs, conducting performance reviews and addressing issues promptly
• Identify supplier risks and develop effective mitigation strategies
• Negotiate cost reductions and identify opportunities for better value
• Work closely with internal teams to ensure suppliers meet operational needs
