• Coordinate supplier readiness activities, including capability reviews, capacity analysis, process assessments, tooling evaluations, and production ramp planning.
• Ensure sourcing mitigations align with technical validation requirements, APQP/PPAP deliverables, first-article inspections, and production-release gates.
• Evaluate inventory buffers, pre-buy requirements, alternate materials, logistics options, and other mitigation strategies based on risk and business impact.
• Conduct supplier visits and assessments to verify operational capability, process control, capacity, and recovery preparedness.
• Monitor external developments that could affect supply continuity and communicate material exposure to leadership.
• Establish resilience dashboards and metrics covering critical-part exposure, supplier redundancy, mitigation progress, capacity risk, lead-time risk, and disruption recovery.
• Support contract negotiations by incorporating continuity, capacity, tooling ownership, data access, notification, and recovery requirements.
• Lead, coach, and develop assigned employees. Establish priorities and ensure accountability for quality, cost, delivery, and resilience objectives.
• Protect confidential technical and commercial information in accordance with company requirements.

• Demonstrated experience identifying and mitigating supplier or component-level continuity risks.
• Experience developing alternate sources, evaluating supplier capacity, and supporting supplier qualification and production readiness.
• Working knowledge of APQP, PPAP, first-article inspection, corrective action, supplier audits, and change-control practices.

Understanding of industrial manufacturing processes such as machining, castings, forgings, fabrications, heat treatment, and other special processes.

• Experience with ERP/MRP systems and advanced analytical tools. Strong Excel skills required. Experience with Power BI or supplier-risk platforms preferred.
