Procurement & Supplier Management

• Plan and execute purchase order timing and quantities to balance MOQs, freight efficiency, storage constraints, and production needs

• Manage supplier relationships, including pricing, lead times, reliability, and secondary sourcing for critical materials

• Support new product launches by sourcing materials, validating lead times, and managing inventory ramp-up and drawdown

Cross-Functional Coordination & Systems

• Coordinate closely with Production, QA, Compliance, Sales, and Finance to align material availability with manufacturing priorities and regulatory requirements

• Ensure accurate inventory tracking, lot control, expiration dating, and compliance within ERP/MRP systems

• Continuously improve supply chain processes, controls, and SOPs to support scalability, service levels, and margin improvement
