What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead cross-functional manufacturing and supply-chain projects, improve production efficiencies, manage supplier performance, and report clear KPIs to senior leadership—while growing my impact on planning and operations.

I’m a Manufacturing Project Manager and team lead with a proven record of breaking production records, thrice. I bring experience across customer service, technical manufacturing, supply-chain audits, and leading teams to deliver high efficiencies.

In my current role, I manage supplier relationships through vendor evaluation, pricing & performance monitoring, supplier selection, and purchase order processing. I coordinate production schedules with third-party manufacturers, oversee inbound and outbound logistics, and partner with Demand and Supply Planning on forecasting, inventory analysis, financial analysis, and performance reporting.

I also deepen technical accuracy by preparing and presenting supply chain spend reports, KPIs, and operational metrics to senior leadership. Previously, I wrote material specifications to obtain and sustain product approval, served as a TraceGains Superuser, and used SAP inventory management to ensure correct staging, component counting/recording, and process compliance—while leading teams of 5 to 20 people.
