• Liaise with carriers, brokers, and warehouses to ensure proper routing, documentation, and delivery appointments.

• Support claims and chargebacks related to late delivery or premium freight when applicable.

 
Cross‑Functional Alignment

• Synchronize dates with Buyers, Planners, Site Materials, and Project Managers; maintain a single source of truth in ERP/MRP.
• Support outages/turnarounds with daily line‑of‑balance updates and hot‑list management.

 
Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate PO status; produce weekly supplier on-time-delivery (OTD) and past‑due line reports.
• Recommend process improvements (lead‑time accuracy, confirmation cadence, supplier scorecard inputs).

 
Minimum Requirements
