• Managing inventory health through safety stock optimization, working stock management, inventory projections, and continuous monitoring of inventory performance.

• Leading initiatives to reduce Excess & Obsolete (E&O) inventory by partnering with engineering, material teams, and other manufacturing sites to maximize material utilization.

• Supporting Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) performance and collaborating with buyers to ensure material orders, planning parameters, and ERP data remain accurate and up to date.

• Supporting pre-buy strategies, evaluating forecast risks, supplier lead times, and inventory exposure while driving continuous improvement across materials management processes.

• Strong knowledge of inventory optimization, safety stock, master data management, MRP planning, supplier capacity planning, manufacturing processes, and a valid U.S. visa.

Although not necessary, it would be nice if you have:

• Experience working in Manufacturing, Electronics, Automotive, HVAC, or Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environments.

• Experience managing complex BOMs, high-mix/low-volume operations, PFEP, or Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).

• Experience driving inventory optimization initiatives, reducing Excess & Obsolete (E&O) inventory, and supporting cross-functional supply chain operations.
