As a senior leader, you will shape materials management strategy across multi-site operations, advance systems integration between ERP/MES environments, and ensure inventory accuracy and supply availability. This is a pivotal, cross-functional role guiding both tactical execution and strategic development through operational leadership, data analytics, and process discipline.
