• Uncover and clearly articulate supply chain risks to senior leadership and internal stakeholders
• Act as the “voice of supply chain” when collaborating with cross-functional teams on the potential impact of engineering and/or content changes on supply chain cost and timing
• Own data management, analysis, and reporting across an array of applications (Google Workspace, Excel, SAP, Tableau, Confluence, Jira, etc.), particularly as it relates to supply chain material and parts procurement, tooling, risk management, and leadership reporting activities
• Manage short-term projects, ad-hoc requests and various tasks in support of business needs on an as-needed basis

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field that imparts strong analytical and communication skills
• 3+ years of supply chain experience, preferably in the automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing industry
• Excellent leadership and team management skills, with the ability to motivate and guide cross-functional teams
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate through ambiguity and complexity
• Adept at building data visuals to communicate clear and concise messaging to senior- and executive-level audiences
• Advanced Excel capabilities with knowledge on constructing pivot tables, charts, and formulas
• Advanced data analysis skills, including the ability to extract, manipulate, and interpret large datasets to drive supply chain improvements. Exceptional proficiency in SQL and experience with data warehousing and analytics platforms (such as Databricks or similar technologies) is strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, or operations activities for automotive products preferred
• Ability to travel as required to support program implementations and stakeholder engagements
