• Participate as a member or resource on product development teams as needed
• Work closely with the Supplier Risk Management team on financially troubled suppliers
• Lead and support proactive and predictive strategy initiatives
• Keep management updated frequently based on issue urgency, and provide executive-level reports as required

What's Needed?

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Finance, or a related field (preferred)
• 5+ years of experience in Automotive Manufacturing Operations (preferred)
• 3+ years of experience in die casting or machining operations (preferred)
• Broad understanding of manufacturing processes, including material handling, inventory management, OEE, capacity, and throughput
• Strong analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills to build relationships and resolve issues with team members and suppliers
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex cases with a high level of autonomy and accountability
• Ability to present information effectively to various levels and audiences
