  • Proactive Sourcing Support: Review technical specifications early to determine and verify part numbers for long-lead-time components, ensuring sourcing and planning teams can act early.
  • Rapidly revise BOMs when sales order specifications or engineering changes occur.

• Tool Improvement & Data Automation:

  • Maintain, develop, and improve the software tools and automation scripts that support BOM creation to boost efficiency, throughput, and accuracy.
  • Create and maintain forecasting tools to support long-term demand planning.
  • Support internal and external departments with data analysis regarding product architecture, configured sales history, and unique financial or production data requests.

• Cross-Functional Leadership & Change Management:

  • NPD Representation: Serve as the primary Order Management voice in New Product Development (NPD) projects, ensuring new product architectures scale cleanly in our systems.
  • Impact Analysis: Investigate how product improvements or engineering design changes will impact demand planning tools.
  • Facilitate Alignment: Lead cross-functional meetings with Sales and Production teams to explain, align on, and mitigate the impacts of product changes on the broader demand plan.

• Education & Experience:

  • Education: 4-year University Degree (Engineering, Business, or Supply Chain) OR 4+ years of relevant equivalent work experience.
  • Industry Experience: 1+ years of experience in a design, sales, or supply chain role within the mobile industrial equipment industry (e.g., terminal tractors, forklifts, telehandlers, container-moving or heavy equipment).
  • Logistics Exposure: 1+ years of experience involving the cargo logistics industry (e.g., container handling, trailer logistics, food/beverage distribution, distribution centers, or port operations).
