• Systems & Process Ownership: Oversee Procurement and Supply Chain systems (e.g., SAP, Contract Management), approve changes, manage IT backlog, coordinate testing, and communicate updates.
• Master Data Governance: Ensure accuracy, classification, and timely processing of Material and Service Master data; maintain consistent data standards and controls.
• Technology & Reporting: Evaluate and implement technology solutions to improve tracking, reporting, and visibility across materials, inventory, and distribution.
• Purchasing & Inventory Management: Manage strategic and tactical purchasing, material planning, inventory control, warehousing, and receiving activities.
