- Working closely with suppliers to have clear line of sight to supply and demand at all times, from short-term shortages to long-term supply.

- Contributing to CM performance reviews and developing and measuring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure CMs' performance.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

- Proficiency in MS Excel (including advanced techniques) and working with ERP systems like SAP.

- Regular use of AI tools like Gemini and OpenAI.

- Experience with Product Data Management (PDM) systems like Agile or Windchill, with knowledge of Bill of Materials (BOM) structures.
