- Procurement officer. Supply Chain Procurement Certificate fits purchasing and supplier coordination. It does not suit someone who mainly handles freight.
- Operations manager. Certified Supply Chain Professional suits logistics and operations managers. It does not suit a freight specialist pursuing a senior level credential, who should look at Certified International Supply Chain Consultant.
