This is a 90-day fractional engagement designed for a hands-on operator who can stabilize the function in month one, transfer more ownership by month two, and move into an advisory role by the end of the engagement. We are looking for someone who is energized by building capability, not creating long-term dependency. What You’ll Support Supply chain and logistics visibility.

By 60 days: Internal supply chain lead owns a growing set of recurring workflows with coaching and oversight. By 90 days: Internal supply chain lead owns the day-to-day operating rhythm, while the fractional leader shifts into advisory support and provides a future-structure recommendation.
