As the Data Analytics & Business Case Manager, you will drive data‑driven decision‑making across three semiconductor manufacturing sites in Asia.

• Develop business cases for cost initiatives, productivity programs, supplier proposals, and capital investments.

• Build and maintain dashboards for KPIs, cost savings, spend analytics, and performance tracking across the three sites.

• Partner with sourcing, finance, engineering, and manufacturing teams to validate assumptions and quantify financial impacts.

• Prepare and publish monthly and quarterly savings reports, cost trend analyses, and executive‑level presentations.

• Identify cost‑reduction opportunities using data modeling, benchmarking, and scenario analysis.

• Drive data governance by ensuring accuracy, completeness, and standardization of data across all Asian manufacturing facilities.

• Support digitalization initiatives, including automation of reporting tools, workflow improvements, and system enhancements.

• Provide insights into semiconductor industry trends, market data, and supplier dynamics to aid in strategic planning.

• Collaborate with IT teams to maintain analytics systems and ensure data availability.

What You Will Need

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Data Science, Engineering, Finance, Supply Chain, Business Analytics, or related field.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in data analysis, business case development, or operations finance — semiconductor or high‑tech manufacturing preferred.

• Strong analytical capabilities with proficiency in data tools such as Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Python, or equivalent.

• Experience in building financial models, cost simulations, and ROI/NPV‑based business cases.

• Solid understanding of procurement, manufacturing operations, and cost structures in a semiconductor environment.

• Strong communication and presentation skills, capable of turning complex data into clear insights for leadership.

• High proficiency in MS Excel, PowerPoint, and data visualization tools.

• Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams across different sites and time zones.

• Detail‑oriented, proactive, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.

• Experience with SAP, MES, or semiconductor planning systems is an advantage.
