• Coordinate production readiness, component availability, and launch timelines with co-manufacturers.
• Support phase-in and phase-out management to minimize write-offs and supply disruption.
• Ensure manufacturing and procurement requirements are completed on time for launch execution.  

 Cost Management & Procurement 

• Identify and implement cost-saving opportunities through MOQ optimization, sourcing adjustments, process improvements, and supplier negotiations.
• Analyze vendor cost increases and partner with internal teams and suppliers to understand cost impacts and mitigate where possible.
• Support annual cost planning, forecasting, and budget activities.
• Contribute to initiatives that improve COGS and working capital performance

Operational Performance & Continuous Improvement 

• Track supplier KPIs including on-time delivery, service levels, inventory accuracy, quality performance, and responsiveness.
• Lead root cause investigations for supply interruptions and inventory issues.
• Drive process improvements that enhance planning accuracy, supplier execution, and operational efficiency.
• Support implementation and optimization of supply planning and reporting tools.

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Partner closely with Supply Planning to align production requirements with demand plans.
• Collaborate with Quality and Regulatory teams regarding product holds, changes, and compliance-related requirements.
• Work with Finance on inventory management, spend forecasting, and cost improvement opportunities.
• Support Operations leadership with reporting, risk assessment, and critical supply decisions.   

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Operations, or a related field or equivalent combination of education and experience.
