  • Partner cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and other purchasing commodity team to support seamless integration of semiconductor components into GM products and resolve emerging issues quickly.
  • Drive accountability with suppliers and internal stakeholders by building clear business cases, aligning on actions, tracking commitments, and escalating gaps when needed.
  • Identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities in the semiconductor supply chain and recommend practical actions to improve resiliency, operating discipline, and decision quality.
  • Prepare concise, executive-ready updates on supplier performance, market conditions, negotiations, and risk assessments using Microsoft Office tools and business reporting platforms.
