• Support transfer of work activities and supplier development initiatives
• Raise, track, and escalate risks, issues, and actions where required
• Contribute to procurement strategy, supplier approval, and contract setup where needed
• Ensure manufacturing non-conformances and concessions are effectively managed

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience in Supply Chain Quality or Quality Management (experience valued over qualifications)

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Solid understanding of quality tools and methodologies (APQP, FAI, audits, control plans preferred)
