  • Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders to ensure alignment on performance, initiatives, and strategic direction.
  • Proactively communicate risks, bottlenecks, and improvement areas to both internal and client leadership.
  • Governance & Reporting:
  • Own the governance framework for inventory operations, including weekly operational reviews and monthly/quarterly business reviews.
  • Track and report performance metrics such as inventory accuracy, inventory turnover, write-offs, and fill rates.
  • Ensure compliance with SOX/internal controls and client-specific inventory audit standards.
  • Process Improvement & Automation:
  • Lead initiatives to standardize and optimize global inventory control processes through Lean/Six Sigma practices.
  • Identify automation opportunities (e.g., RPA, AI-based forecasting) and work with solutioning teams to implement them.
  • Benchmark and implement best practices from other automotive/industrial clients.
  • Team Leadership & Resource Planning:
  • Manage and mentor a cross-regional team handling plant inventory operations, data analysis, and warehouse coordination.
  • Ensure adequate capacity planning to support seasonal volume fluctuations and program launches.
  • Foster a high-performance culture focused on ownership, agility, and continuous learning.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in supply chain, logistics, industrial engineering, or related field.
  • Good years of experience in inventory management or supply chain operations, with rich experience in a leadership role.
  • Proven delivery management experience in a global automotive or manufacturing environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of ERP systems (e.g., SAP ECC/S4HANA, Oracle, JDA, or Infor) and inventory planning tools.
  • Exceptional analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Experience with compliance frameworks, internal controls, and operational risk management.
