- Manage the full order cycle in our ERP system (IFS): entry, monitoring, invoicing, goods receipts, and master data
- Place and track purchase orders with suppliers; manage supplier relationships and contracts including bi-annual RFQs
- Plan and optimize mixed container shipments from India and China — consolidating volumes across divisions to reduce freight and clearance costs
- Handle import/export documentation, certificates of analysis, and shipping paperwork end-to-end
