  • Stay current with outstanding questions, project timelines, and cross-functional activity.
  • Work cooperatively with the co-manufacturer and material planning to resolve material supply issues.
  • Develop cross-functional educational materials to ensure understanding of key activities, interactions, and processes by internal stakeholders in Operations/Supply Chain.
  • Maintain open dialogue with cross-functional peers to coordinate activities and improve performance and productivity.
