  • Support tactical purchasing to mitigate shortages and expedite critical components.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Warehousing, Logistics, and Global Supply Management to resolve shipping, receiving, and inventory discrepancies.
  • Support executive-level presentations with clear, data-driven insights.
  • Process Improvement
  • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the planning cycle.
  • Propose and implement process improvements to improve planning accuracy, service levels, and scalability.

Requirements:

  • Education

  • Master’s degree in Engineering or Supply Chain Management preferred.
  • Experience
  • 5–7 years of experience in materials planning, inventory management, or supply chain operations.
  • Experience in high-volume manufacturing or complex hardware environments.

  • Proven adaptability in fast-paced, rapidly changing environments.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights for Manufacturing and NPI teams.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
