- Lead relationships with 3PL/4PL providers and global logistics partners
- Strengthen supply chain resilience and risk mitigation frameworks
- Partner cross-functionally with procurement, manufacturing, and quality teams
- Deliver KPI reporting, audit readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives
