• Serve as the primary point of contact for production control, communicating updates and resolving conflicts between stakeholders

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in production planning, material requirements planning (MRP), or inventory control
• Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., Glovia, SAP, Oracle) and Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to synthesize complex data into clear action plans
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority
