• Manage intercompany and third-party work orders; place orders with suppliers when required.
• Contribute to long-term planning, supply chain improvements, and cost-saving initiatives.
• Stay informed on industry trends and suggest actionable improvements to the planning process.

• Calm under pressure, organized in your workflow, and clear in your communication.
• Able to engage with different stakeholders and make decisions based on data and logic.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); other languages are a plus.
