- Cross-Functional Communication Bridge: Function as the primary supply chain operational liaison connecting the Director of Supply Chain, Program Management, Engineering, Design Engineering, Operations, Quality, Materials, procurement, and manufacturing plants.
- Schedule Shift & Substitution Execution: Manage change workflows when responding to shifting schedules, priority changes, and supply chain constraints that warrant material substitutions and adjustments.
- Material Disposition & SAP Accountability: Provide precise direction on material re-assignment, substitution, and the repurposing of materials already pulled from stock under existing production orders, ensuring strict material accountability and inventory integrity within SAP.
- Documentation & Strategic Reporting: Maintain meeting logs. Track change implementation metrics and backlogs to report status and escalation risks upward to the Director of Supply Chain.
- Team Leadership & Mentorship: Provide robust leadership, oversight, guidance, training, and mentoring to your direct report(s) and project team members on key project procedures, SAP practices, risk mitigation, and cross-functional stakeholder coordination.
Your qualifications - B.S. in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field, or at least 7 years relevant experience in supply chain operations, production planning, manufacturing, or engineering change workflows within complex, SAP-driven production environments.
- Strong proficiency in understanding material flows and substitution logic, reading engineering documentation, and utilizing enterprise tools like PLM, ERP (SAP), or QMS software.
- Exceptional communication, project management, and conflict-resolution abilities to bridge gaps between technical and business groups.
