Your attention to detail and clear effective communication will be key to your success in this role.

WHAT YOU DO:

• Issue and maintain the entire lifecycle of work orders, purchase orders, and transfer orders in NetSuite.
• Maintain PO and TO statuses, dispatch date, ETA, QTY, price, etc. and ensure all information reflects reality and is up to date systematically.
• Obtain commercial invoice and packing lists to receive and build WOs/POs once items are ready for dispatch/pick-up at contract manufacturers.

• Update and distribute Open Order and Transfer Order reports to vendors and cross functional teams within Operations.
• Build and maintain supplier relationships by driving weekly vendor OOR calls and working with external partners to understand, support resolution, and/or communicate changes in production priority.
• Review vulnerable/at-risk/out of stock SKUs and ensure POs are expedited accordingly.
• Download extracts from ERP & WMS to provide open orders, BOM details, on-hand, in-transit inventory, etc. for each vendor.
• Serve as the first point of contact for any supply issues that may arise (delays, out of spec material, constraints, etc.), understanding the issue in detail and proactively providing potential solutions
