- Drive performance management: define/report KPIs (OTIF, plan adherence, capacity utilization, inventory accuracy/expiry, exception closure) and lead corrective actions.
- Manage risk and compliance: identify/mitigate internal and external supply risks; ensure cGMP/GDP and ALCOA+ data integrity; maintain audit readiness.
- Lead continuous improvement and transformation: deliver multi-quarter CI programs, parameter optimization, digital tools/automation, and process simplification.
- Build and lead the team: hire, develop, coach, and performance-manage 4–8 direct reports; build succession and cross-training depth.
