• Ensure procurement execution risks and performance gaps are appropriately elevated through operational governance forums, including S&OE and S&OP processes.
• Promote standard work, escalation disciplines, and purchasing governance practices across supported sites.
• Analyze procurement execution performance and leverage key metrics to identify improvement opportunities related to on-time delivery, inventory health, fulfillment accuracy, and issue resolution effectiveness.
• Support implementation of process improvements, automation initiatives, and digital tools that improve visibility, standardization, and execution performance.
• Provide guidance and subject matter expertise to procurement, planning, and operational stakeholders on purchasing processes, escalation management, and risk mitigation strategies.

What We Seek

Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience with a bachelor's degree, or 6 years with a master's degree, or equivalent experience in Supply Chain, Purchasing, Procurement Operations, Operations, or a related field.
