• Assist in preparing supply chain financial performance summaries and insights for senior leadership.
• Help translate operational metrics into financial outcomes, linking service levels, inventory, productivity, and cost drivers to EBITDA and cash flow.
• Maintain and improve recurring budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes specific to supply chain operations.
