  • Oversee and support team efforts to assist and encourage suppliers in using the Document Solicitation System, including training, FAQs, and communication templates.

  • Oversee urgent tasks cascaded by solicitation analysts as they arise, ensuring rapid triage, assignment, and resolution, while managing risk and stakeholder expectations.

Controls, Reporting, and Stakeholder Management

  • Ensure the team is operationally executing and supporting Customs Origin and Solicitation methodologies and processes in line with GM policies, internal controls, and audit requirements.

  • Review and approve key reports, schedules, and analysis produced by the team (e.g., workload status, IRP metrics, SLA performance, exceptions/defects).

  • Provide timely and accurate updates on the team’s workload, risks, and performance as part of status reporting to Customs leadership and other stakeholders.

  • Maintain a strong control focus, ensuring that any financial, compliance, or control‑related issues are raised promptly with root‑cause analysis and proposed corrective actions.

  • Collaborate effectively with Mexico peers and colleagues, Global Customs, Tax, and other GBS teams to resolve issues and align on process changes.

  • Partner with stakeholders to identify opportunities for process improvements, automation, and standardization that drive quality, compliance, and efficiency.
