Partner with cross-functional teams to align demand, supply, launches, and risk mitigation.
Lead Supply Chain readiness for new product introductions and launches; ensure components, packaging, supplier commitments, inventory, and logistics are in place.
Provide tactical leadership during critical shortages, launches, inventory discrepancies, and supplier disruptions until stable controls and recovery plans are established.
Drive sourcing and purchasing strategies to improve supply continuity, quality, cost, lead time, and working capital; negotiate supply agreements and alternate sources.
Manage inventory levels across locations to balance service and production continuity with turns and cash flow.
Oversee logistics, warehousing, shipping, freight, and import/export compliance as assigned.
