• Lead supplier selection, RFQs, negotiations, contracts, long-term agreements, and strategic supplier relationships.
• Drive supplier performance in availability, cost, delivery, capacity, responsiveness, technology, and risk; establish scorecards and corrective-action reviews.
• Partner with Supplier Quality and Engineering on qualification, PPAP, industrialization, resourcing, and production readiness.
