• Manage supplier performance and development using defined quality, delivery, cost, lead-time, responsiveness, capacity, and risk metrics; lead supplier business reviews and ensure corrective actions are completed.
• Improve supply-chain resilience through alternate-source qualification, regionalization, nearshoring, continuity planning, capacity assessments, and reduction of geographic, geopolitical, and sole-source risk.
• Deliver measurable business results, including validated cost savings, cost avoidance, improved payment terms, reduced lead times, working-capital improvements, and successful sourcing support for new-product introductions.
• Establish effective cross-business governance and visibility by maintaining an actionable sourcing pipeline, improving supplier and pricing data, sharing best practices across business units, and communicating progress, risks, and recommendations to BU and TASI leadership.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, engineering, business, finance, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• 7+ years of sourcing or procurement experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
