  • Forecast future demand and supply challenges based on historical trends, seasonality, and operational constraints, including factors outside of the company’s control.
  • Keep pipeline reports accurate and current; anticipate shortages, delays, and operational risks before they occur.
  • Contract & Partner Relationship Management

  • Manage supplier and customer contracts, ensuring execution aligns with plan and communicating deviations or risks to leadership.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with suppliers, customers, warehouses, and logistics partners, acting as a key liaison for day-to-day operations.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with sales, accounting, and warehouse teams to ensure alignment and visibility across all aspects of supply chain activity.
  • Support continuous improvement in processes related to order flow, documentation, freight optimization, and operational accuracy.
  • Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience with MRP systems (e.g., Agtech ) strongly preferred.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally and maintain productive relationships across stakeholders.
  • Ability to think ahead, anticipate risk, and solve problems in a fast-moving environment.
