- Represent AIT in Mandarin-language negotiations and presentations with customers, suppliers, and government agencies, and coordinate trade shows, technical seminars, and joint-development workshops.
- Drive operational excellence by benchmarking U.S. and China manufacturing metrics, synchronizing EHS, quality, and cost-control standards, and identifying Lean/6σ and automation opportunities.
- Prepare concise reports, scenario analyses, and strategic recommendations for the President and board while monitoring macroeconomic, regulatory, and supply-chain risks affecting China strategy.
- Commit to up to 50 % international and domestic travel, including multi-week assignments in China as project demands require.
