Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I have a combination of shorter daily tasks and larger monthly tasks to complete. Daily tasks include monitoring reports from suppliers to ensure records are well kept, and responding to queries from customers. Bigger monthly tasks include generating and verifying invoices, supplier audits and larger-scale reporting.
This role does not fit the typical description of supply chain. More specifically it is working with and supporting companies who supply a service to VWFS relating to the on-road lifecycle of the car, for example roadside assistance.
