Internal Stakeholder Collaboration & Prioritization - Design and manage part allocation and prioritization plans when supply constraints require balancing commercial delivery against internal testing timelines. S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) Startup Foundation - Establish and lead the company's cross-functional S&OP framework to align Sales, Finance, Engineering, and Supply Chain on a singular operational plan. - Facilitate regular demand review cycles to flush out hidden demand signals, changing test scopes, or shifting commercial timelines. - Model multiple demand scenarios to de-risk inventory exposure.
