- Untangle which Lean Six Sigma Black Belt costs are fixed and which you can actually move

- Make the renewal case before the full-time client starts shopping around
- Reallocate spend toward whatever business channel is actually working
What You'll Bring
- Proven Cold Chain Management judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit

- Hands-on experience with modern Procurement workflows and tooling
- A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
- A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
- The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
