• Build and evaluate multi-scenario network strategies that optimize resilience, cost-to-serve, and customer experience.

Operationalization of Network Strategy

• Operationalize approved network designs into clear plans, ensuring plants, DCs, transportation teams, and planning functions fully understand target flows, policies, and performance expectations.

• Lead cross-functional orchestration of network changes-new sites, regionalization efforts, lane shifts, closures-from concept through steady-state enablement.

• Act as the strategic conduit between long-term design and short/mid-term execution, resolving structural constraints that prevent the network from operating as designed.

Network Governance, Capability Building & Executive Influence

• Develop and maintain a multi-year planning and capacity master plan with full alignment from global manufacturing and distribution leaders.

• Co-create the 5-10-year scalability plan that supports aggressive growth targets while reducing structural risk through diversification, redundancy, and capacity flexibility.

• Serve as a strategic advisor to senior leaders across Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, and Distribution & Logistics.

• Co-create and govern the Network Playbook-comprising decision frameworks, policy guardrails, network maps, and standard flow-path assumptions.

• Present network strategies, trade-offs, and investment recommendations to executive leadership and the Supply Chain Planning leadership team.

Key Competencies

• Exceptional collaboration and influence across complex global organizations.

• Ability to simplify systemic complexity into clear strategic direction.

• Executive-level storytelling and decision-framing.

• Comfort operating fluidly between high-level strategy and tactical detail to ensure executional excellence.

Key Priorities in the first 12-24 months

• Delivery of a fully aligned multi-year network master plan endorsed by Supply Chain, Commercial, and Operations leadership.

• Proven success influencing large cross-functional teams without direct authority.

• Deep understanding of end-to-end supply chain flows, constraints, and global manufacturing & distribution dynamics.

• Experience with complex, global, multi-node networks in high-growth or regulated industries.
