The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking with strong project management capabilities and a bias for action. This role is accountable for leading the projects it owns, driving progress across cross-functional teams, removing barriers, managing risk, and ensuring results are delivered on time and with measurable business impact.

Proactively identify and remove roadblocks, resolve issues, and drive accountability across project teams to maintain momentum and meet commitments. Lead and support gate review processes, clearly communicating sourcing requirements, supplier decisions, supply chain risks, commercial considerations, supply agreements, and project timelines. Identify performance gaps to goals and develop effective countermeasures in collaboration with stakeholders to close gaps and exceed target metrics. Ensure project deliverables are aligned with commodity strategies, procurement priorities, and business unit objectives. Evaluate business requirements against supplier capabilities to select suppliers that best meet quality, delivery, cost, and capacity needs.
