Responsibilities

• Supplier Transitions: Manage assigned supplier transitions — site moves, dual-sourcing, supplier exits and integration activity — ensuring complete part lists are captured, qualification and audit activity is scheduled, and supply is protected throughout.
• Change Management: Manage supplier change notifications for assigned continuity projects — confirming incoming changes are accurate and complete, resolving conflicts, and routing and expediting approvals to meet Applied change management requirements.
• SNF Administration: Support the SNF program team with day-to-day administration of the Supplier Notification Form process — reviewing incoming supplier submissions for completeness, routing them to the correct approvers, and following up on aging tasks.
• Material Movement: Plan and track the movement of material between suppliers, Applied sites and qualification locations — coordinating shipments, documentation and delivery commitments so material arrives when the project plan requires it.

Convene working meetings, document decisions, hold owners to their commitments, and provide clear and timely status to stakeholders at all levels.
• Risk & Issue Management: Identify risk early, confirm ownership with the responsible functions, track dependencies and open decisions, and elevate through established channels to limit downstream delay.
• Analytics & Reporting: Pull and validate part, supplier and project data, analyze, and develop the reporting used to track material status and risk reporting that drives decisions.
• Continuous Improvement & Documentation: Ensure all phases of project, program and process development are documented and disseminated to the relevant functional areas, and contribute improvements to team templates, playbooks and standards.
