- Identify delivery risks early and drive recovery actions to protect build timelines
- Coordinate inbound freight, logistics, and customs clearance for domestic and international orders
- Build strong working relationships with key suppliers and monitor their performance on delivery, quality, and cost
- Support sourcing, qualification, and onboarding of new suppliers
- Coordinate with stores/warehouse on goods-receipting, stock accuracy, and inventory levels
- Maintain accurate procurement records, reconcile POs, dockets and invoices, and uphold DXN's safety, quality, and compliance standards
