  • Support identification and initial evaluation of alternate suppliers under the direction of senior team members.
  • Assist with supplier onboarding documentation and qualification activities.
  • Gather market pricing data to support cost benchmarking and savings initiatives.
  • Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for supplier communication on open orders and delivery issues.
  • Partner with Engineering, Operations, and Quality to support component releases, ECOs, and supply-related issues.
  • Communicate supply risks or shortages to internal stakeholders proactively.
  • Support value engineering and cost-down efforts by coordinating supplier input and data collection.
