  • Strong commercial, negotiation, and supplier management skills.
  • Understanding of imports, freight, and international sourcing.
  • Sharp analytical skills with the ability to balance margin, cost, and supply security.
  • Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management and a proactive, results-driven approach.
