Overview

Make an Impact Where It Matters:

We are seeking a Supply Chain Operating Manager who thrives on solving complex challenges, connecting the dots, and turning supply chain strategy into business results.

In this role, you will drive end-to-end supply chain execution across demand, supply, capacity, inventory, and customer priorities. You will anticipate risks, influence decisions, mobilize cross-functional teams, and drive actions to deliver customer and business commitments. You go beyond reporting what happened. You anticipate what could happen next and lead the actions required to stay ahead.

You bring clarity to complexity, connect insights to decisions, align stakeholders, and maintain ownership through execution and closure.

Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.

Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.

Why Join Us:

This role provides the opportunity to make a direct impact on customer experience, business performance, supply chain resilience, and operational excellence while gaining broad exposure across the end-to-end value chain.

• Drive demand, supply, and shipment performance, proactively addressing constraints, critical backlog, and recovery actions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, Business, or related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in supply chain, planning, or operations, with strong end-to-end operational understanding.
• Strong analytical and business acumen with demonstrated problem-solving, risk management, and decision-making capability.
• Proven ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams and drive complex issues through resolution.
• Experience leading cross-functional projects or programs with measurable customer, revenue, inventory, or operational impact.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to translate complexity into clear actions and decisions.
• Proactive and resilient, with strong ownership, accountability, customer focus, and execution discipline.
• Ability to think strategically while executing with operational discipline, balancing short-term priorities with longer-term business objectives.
• Demonstrated continuous-improvement mindset; experience with Lean, automation, or process transformation is an advantage.
