  • Optimize global logistics frameworks to streamline inbound transport while maintaining strict adherence to international trade statutes.
  • Drive corporate social responsibility by embedding ethical sourcing standards and environmental governance into every procurement strategy.
  • Maximize working capital by implementing sophisticated inventory controls that balance lean principles with high-demand availability.

What You Bring

  • Proven Track Record: At least 7 years of progressive experience spearheading materials management, procurement, and inventory strategy within a complex manufacturing environment.
  • Technical Mastery: Deep proficiency in ERP/MRP architectures and advanced data analytics to drive evidence-based decision-making.
  • Strategic Vision: Demonstrated ability to identify supply chain vulnerabilities and engineer creative solutions to maintain operational continuity.
  • Leadership Presence: Exceptional communication skills with the innate ability to influence stakeholders and lead diverse teams toward shared objectives.
