• Team Leadership & Development:
• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of Process and Compliance Analysts, fostering a culture of expertise, collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning.
• Set clear strategic objectives, provide regular coaching and performance feedback, and effectively manage team resources to achieve departmental and organizational goals.
• Drive the professional growth of team members, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in both process optimization and compliance management.

• Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate compliance-related and process-related risks within the supply chain, contributing to the broader organizational risk management framework.
• Serve as a primary subject matter expert on supply chain processes and compliance, providing strategic guidance and consultation to cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Manufacturing, Legal, Quality Assurance, and Program Management.
