3. Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions when metrics miss target.
4. Manage and resolve PO-to-invoice discrepancies, returns, and quality issues with suppliers to prevent payment delays and receiving holds.
5. Onboard new suppliers into procurement systems, ensuring all required documentation, contracts, and compliance records are complete before first PO.
6. Ensure compliance with correct export and qualify flow-down requirements applicable to the Leo program.
7. Monitor safety stock and flag supply delays early and work with the team to develop mitigation plans, elevate critical shortages, and expedite parts.
8. Create and improve procurement processes including standard work, PO management playbooks, and supplier performance tracking to improve efficiency and reduce errors.
9. Collaborate with internal customers and provide a high level of customer service, including recommending solutions, resources and alternative supply options.
