    • Lead internal management groups to support their long-term strategic need for a commodity.

    • Utilize data analysis to support data-driven decisions across the organization.
    • Accountable for regional strategy formation in partnership with engineering, Lifecycle, and regional procurement entities for make-to-print and off-the-shelf procured items.
    • Develop and execute source selection tools that are primarily focused on price, supplier location, and supplier capability.

    • Knowledge of warehouse inventory management, engineering blueprints, contract law, purchase orders, blanket orders, marketing and sales data.
    • Ability to work with others in difficult situations managing conflict and taking ownership for commodity projects.
    • Ability to prioritize projects and multi-task to meet deadlines and customer’s expectations.
    • Ability to work with suppliers in a professional manner and negotiate the best total cost benefit for the organization.
    • Proficiency with ERP and data analytics software including Power BI, Power Apps, and SQL Developer.
