- Communicate status, priorities, issues, and recommended actions clearly and accurately to suppliers and internal stakeholders.
- Demonstrate strong planning and organizational skills by maintaining accurate sourcing and material-readiness trackers.
- Manage multiple projects and competing priorities in a fast-paced product development and supply-chain environment.
- Take accountability for assigned actions and proactively drive issues to timely resolution.
