In this role you will operate with significant ambiguity: scoping problems that don't yet have established processes, designing scalable solutions, and earning trust with cross-functional partners (Global Materials Management, Planning, Procurement, and suppliers) to implement them. You will independently manage supplier-facing communications, translate complex data into actionable insights for senior leadership, and continuously raise the bar on how we measure and improve supplier performance.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end execution of assigned SPIRE performance programs (e.g., OTIF measurement, ASN/EDI compliance, promise date adherence), including goal-setting, stakeholder alignment, and delivery against milestones
- Design and implement supplier performance metrics frameworks, scorecards, and reporting mechanisms that enable data-driven decision-making at scale
- Analyze complex supply chain datasets to identify systemic root causes of delivery failures, lead time variability, and compliance gaps; translate findings into prioritized action plans
- Drive cross-functional alignment with GMM, Planning, Procurement, and technology teams to standardize processes and close performance gaps
- Manage direct supplier engagement — communicating expectations, reviewing performance data, and facilitating corrective action plans
- Build and automate recurring reports and dashboards (SQL, Excel, BI tools) that reduce manual effort and improve visibility for stakeholders
- Document scalable processes, SOPs, and runbooks that enable the team to maintain programs as they grow
- Identify and escalate emerging risks in the supplier base, proposing mitigation strategies with supporting data
