- Excess & Obsolete (E&O) Risk Management: Proactively identify E&O inventory risks and present mitigation plans to leadership; support EOL transitions and next-generation component integration roadmaps.
- Financial Reporting & Analytics: Act as the primary liaison for material reporting needs from Finance and Accounting, maintaining dashboards that provide cross-organizational visibility including PO cost tracking.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Drive alignment with Demand Planning and Strategic Sourcing to optimize material allocation, reduce procurement costs, and support supply/demand decision-making.
