Partner with the Quality Manager to improve supplier quality, performance, and compliance.
Lead and develop the supply chain team, embedding best practices and measuring performance through agreed KPIs, and ensuring adherence to safety, operational, and company guidelines.
Monitor and optimise inventory levels to ensure appropriate stock rotation while maximising working capital efficiency.
