• Build and deepen knowledge of critical components and supplier capabilities, especially those newly integrated through acquisition.
• Lead and execute supplier management and onboarding initiatives, including risk mitigation, contingency planning, and project scheduling.
• Proactively identify and resolve roadblocks, maintain alignment with stakeholders, and keep integration programs on track.
• Support resource planning and anticipate project requirement changes as product lines evolve or merge.
• Drive production readiness for new components and cost efficiency across both existing and newly acquired supply chains.
• Partner with procurement and integration teams to ensure timely material availability and supplier onboarding.
• Promote continuous improvement across the Material Program Management (MPM) function to support the full product lifecycle—including newly transitioned products.
