  • Communicate status, risks, and recoveries to leadership; escalate complex quality or disposition issues with clear options and recommendations.
  • Mentor/guide junior analysts or extended teams (including overseas support) and promote a continuous-improvement mindset.
Key Competencies:
  • Process discipline and attention to detail.
  • Root-cause problem solving and continuous improvement.
  • Supplier performance management.
  • Ability to balance quality, cost, delivery, and risk tradeoffs.
  • Stakeholder management across Engineering/Quality/Operations.
  • Clear, executive-ready communication.
What you'll need to be successful:
Essential:
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong Project Managment Skills & Expierence - 1-2 years.
  • 5+ years of experience in parts recovery, remanufacturing, quality, supplier management, plant operations, or related automotive/industrial environment.
  • Working knowledge of part lifecycle management concepts (change notices, supersessions, obsolescence) and basic quality systems (inspection, nonconformance, corrective action).
  • Experience coordinating cross functional teams and external suppliers to execute operational initiatives.
  • Strong analytical skills (ability to interpret part/inventory data, build insights, and prioritize actions).
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); comfort working with large data sets and recurring reports.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present recommendations to leadership.
Preferred:
  • Experience with Circular Economy programs (core management, repair/reuse, plant scrap recovery, E&O disposition).
  • Familiarity with supplier audit frameworks and quality tools (8D, 5-Why, Pareto, FMEA).
  • Experience working with overseas/remote teams and shared-service operating models.
  • Knowledge of automotive service parts, remanufacturing, and core return programs.
  • Exposure to enterprise systems supporting material disposition, claims, or inventory (e.g., ERP/MRP, supplier claim portals, or internal disposition tools).
