Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, including regular review meetings with key suppliers.
Resolve supplier disputes, invoice queries, and delivery note discrepancies in a timely and professional manner.
Support New Product Development (NPD) projects with procurement-related activities.
Produce and report procurement KPIs, ensuring targets are achieved and deadlines met.
