  • Translate broader production priorities into clear execution plans across your supplier portfolio.
  • Maintain accurate production documentation, project tracking, and system updates.

Process Improvement

  • Experience managing multiple production timelines and competing priorities
  • Strong project management and organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience working directly with suppliers and presenting business updates
  • Experience negotiating costs and managing supplier performance
  • A data-driven approach to problem solving and continuous improvement
