- Lead cost-reduction initiatives and identify opportunities to improve purchasing efficiency.
- Own stock replenishment and ensure materials are available to support manufacturing.

- Work closely with Finance to maintain accurate procurement data and forecasts.
- Manage third-party logistics activities.
- Work closely with Manufacturing and Operations to ensure materials are available in line with production requirements.
