Supplier Relationship Management & Risk Mitigation

• Lead proactive risk management and mitigation planning to address supply chain disruptions, critical material shortages, and market volatility
• Partner closely with Engineering, Quality, Operations, and other senior stakeholders to ensure alignment, effective decision-making, and material readiness

Your Profile:
