Baltic Recruitment is delighted to be supporting a global leader in cutting-edge automotive electronics manufacturing with the appointment of a Supply Chain Specialist (FTC).
This is a unique opportunity to operate at a global level, coordinating supply chain crisis management and material allocation across multiple international manufacturing sites.
Overall Purpose:
Responsible for supporting the continuity of supply for raw material components across a global manufacturing network.
Operating at a strategic level rather than supporting a single site, this role manages worldwide supply shortages, coordinates cross-functional recovery activities, and optimises material allocation across multiple plants and business units.
Working closely with Procurement, Manufacturing, Logistics, and Suppliers, you will minimise production disruption, maintain customer deliveries, and strengthen global supply chain resilience.
