Supplier Quality Compliance: Partner closely with the Quality Assurance (QA) department to verify that all suppliers possess current and valid quality certifications. Validate supplier QMS to ensure strict alignment with BAE Systems' quality requirements.

Onboarding & Documentation: Manage the Ivalua onboarding portal, ensuring all required supplier documents are uploaded, accurate, and current. Proactively track expiration dates for certifications to prevent lapses in supplier eligibility.

Approval Tracking: Utilize the departmental SharePoint site to track supplier approvals and maintain a comprehensive, audit-ready record of the approved supplier list.

SOW Processing: Upon notification of a Scope of Work (SOW) change by a Buyer or Program Manager, process the required documentation and track the necessary approvals through SharePoint to ensure the supplier remains qualified for the updated requirements.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Recommendation: Act as the primary bridge between P&S and QA to streamline the communication of quality expectations to the supply base. Evaluate supplier documentation and provide formal recommendations to the QA department, who holds the final authority for approval or disqualification.

Portfolio Management: Oversee quality compliance and documentation for approximately 2,000 suppliers across three shipyards.

Compliance Rate: Maintain 100% compliance for supplier certifications to prevent production delays and regulatory findings.

Onboarding Efficiency: Reduce supplier onboarding lead time by 90% through proactive document management and streamlined portal processing.
