- Alternative Matching: Identify alternative chemical manufacturers or product grades when global supply chain disruptions or line closures occur. Work closely with Purchasing manager to review all technical queries, price review, and alternative drop ins.
- Inventory & Demand Planning: Liaising with the Warehouse and Inventory teams to ensure adequate stock levels for regular, forecasted contract customers. Work with account managers to secure accurate customer forecasts where possible.
