• Lead cross‑functional sourcing projects for new site builds, equipment upgrades, and product launches.

• Mitigate supply chain risks through dual sourcing, inventory strategies, and supplier diversification.
• Ensure compliance with export/import regulations and internal procurement policies.

• Use ERP and sourcing platforms to manage procurement workflows, reporting, and analytics.
