* Coordinate with suppliers, procurement, warehouse, and operations teams to ensure these materials are aligned with requirements, available, and approved.
* Monitor raw material usage patterns and assist in maintaining accurate ERP attributes, including min/max, LT, approved suppliers, and material details.
* Help identify and resolve raw material related issues.
* Partner with Engineering, Quality, and Process Control to ensure changes in raw material approvals, specs, or usage requirements are correctly reflected in procurement processes and supporting systems.
* Identify and communicate supply risk, constraints, and business impacts.
Cross‐Functional Integration

Preferred / Strongly Valued
* Experience with consignment or VMI models.
* Supplier KPI governance and performance analysis.
* Familiarity with incoming inspection or controlled materials.
* Experience in internal distribution environments.
