• Identify root causes of inventory build-up and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Drive excess and obsolete inventory disposition and recovery programs.

• Partner with site teams to strengthen warehouse management practices and inventory discipline.
• Establish consistent monitoring and reporting processes to ensure inventory integrity.
• Lead change and transformation initiatives related to inventory management.
• Identify best practices across regions and deploy them globally.
• Standardize inventory control processes, KPIs, and operating routines across IMI sites.

• Proven experience leading inventory control, inventory optimization, or supply chain improvement initiatives in electronics manufacturing or related environment.
• Strong understanding of planning, materials management, warehouse operations, and inventory management principles.
• Demonstrated success delivering inventory reduction, process improvement, or transformation programs.
• Experience working across multiple sites, regions, or global operations.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actions and business results.

You’ll work closely with leaders from Supply Chain, Operations, Planning, Purchasing, and Finance across multiple regions, giving you broad exposure and the opportunity to drive change at scale.
