You start your day by facilitating the flow of information between various stakeholders, including Logistics Service Providers (LSPs), Vendor Managers, Customs, Program Managers, and the broader Supply Chain team.

Resolving any potential issues that could affect lead times and delivery accuracy is a top priority. You leverage your research skills, querying internal tools and making real-time decisions, to provide timely resolutions. Effective communication with stakeholders, whether via phone or email, is essential to ensuring a seamless supply chain.

Throughout the day, you manage and oversee cross-functional programs, applying your creative problem-solving skills to navigate and resolve ambiguities in business scenarios. Fostering collaboration with both internal and external partners is a key part of your role, as you work to optimize resource allocation and ensure the success of these critical initiatives.

Identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate into major issues is another crucial aspect of your responsibilities. You regularly communicate with senior managers and business leaders, providing updates and insights to support key business objectives.

Working within various time constraints to meet critical business needs, you measure and document your activities, demonstrating your ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
