- Partner closely with R&D, Sales, Finance, Manufacturers, and component distributors to capture early indicators of demand, shortages, allocation constraints, or market shifts.
- Thoroughly analyze gathered data to uncover bulk-purchasing or contractual cost-saving areas and proactively flag upcoming manufacturer price increases on essential technology components and kitting hardware.
- Collaborate closely with the Purchasing Manager and distributors to project upcoming price fluctuations and lead-time shifts across volatile technology markets.
- Identify, track, and strategically manage indirect expenses—specifically Shipping, Tariffs, Duties, and Import Fees tied to shipments—working toward alternative sourcing or classification solutions that minimize their impact on the bottom line.
- Systematically collect data on day-to-day component pricing, leadtimes and supply chain operations to map baselines and component bottlenecks.
- Conduct routine evaluations of component vendors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and distributor operations to determine delivery stability and fulfillment capacity.
- Continuously measure core supply chain performance indicators (such as costing prediction accuracy, leadtime accuracy and component defect trends) and synthesize findings into clear, actionable reports for senior leadership.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or a related field
