• Serve as first-level escalation point for internal clients on product availability, lead times, order fulfillment delays, invoicing, and receiving issues
• Execute to MRP and maintain data integrity, including open PO accuracy in the ERP, product rollovers, ECO impacts on inventory, and obsolescence
• Analyze supply data and act on trends in supplier OTD, material usage, forecast accuracy, and spend; track and report KPIs for key vendors
• Contribute to SIOP planning and procurement process improvements, and drive supply chain issue meetings as needed
• Partner with Sourcing and PLM on transition and scale-up timelines for NPIs, suppliers and ramp-down of discontinued SKUs and non-preferred suppliers

• Excellent written/verbal communication skills; ability to turn data sets into clear presentations for the target audience
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, graphs); working knowledge of Outlook, MS-Word, and PowerPoint
• Direct experience with: ERP/MRP, SIOP programs, and ISO standards; Microsoft Dynamics or another cloud-based ERP preferred; WMS familiarity a plus
