A career at Flex offers the opportunity to make a difference and invest in your growth in a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative environment. If you are excited about a role but don't meet every bullet point, we encourage you to apply and join us to create the extraordinary. ## Job Summary **General Purpose** This role is a hands-on, operations-facing position focused on how materials move on the manufacturing floor—from receipt through shipment—and how those transactions are reflected in our systems. The role directly supports transactional accuracy, operator training, and inventory accuracy by identifying gaps between physical flow and system logic. Success in this role requires someone who is comfortable spending significant time on the manufacturing floor, asking questions, observing processes, and validating that system transactions reflect reality. This is not a desk-only role and is ideal for someone curious, detail-oriented, and willing to learn the end-to-end materials process. **Key Responsibilities** Floor Execution & Process Understanding Spend regular time on the manufacturing floor observing and learning end-to-end material flow (receiving, put-away, issuing, WIP movement, and shipping). Develop a deep understanding of how materials are physically handled versus how transactions are executed in the system. Partner with operators, leads, and supervisors to understand real-world constraints and workarounds. Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or risks between physical processes and system transactions. Transactional Accuracy & Inventory Control Validate that material movements are being transacted correctly and consistently in ERP/MRP systems. Support root cause analysis of inventory discrepancies, shortages, or accuracy issues. Assi
