Identify and escalate constraints impacting delivery performance, including capacity, material shortages, quality delays, and process inefficiencies

Lead root cause analysis for missed schedules, delays, and execution failures, and implement corrective and preventive actions

Collaborate cross-functionally with Planning, Production, Quality, Customer Care, and Supply Chain teams to ensure coordinated execution

Support new product introductions and changes to production processes by ensuring readiness and alignment across functions

Participate in daily and weekly operational reviews, providing clear updates on performance, risks, and required actions

Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on improving process discipline, data integrity, and operational performance

Strong attention to detail with a focus on data accuracy and system integrity

Ability to identify root causes and drive sustainable solutions
