Applied Materials, Inc.; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 88,000 - 121,000; Full time

Job summary

Applied Materials, Austin, is seeking an experienced Supply Chain Project Manager to join the onsite team. You will manage continuity projects—supplier moves, dual-sourcing, supplier exits and integration activity—within the Transitions and Compliance group, coordinating cross-functional efforts to protect supply.

The role requires strong data analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and a proactive, detail-oriented approach to drive milestones to closure in a global matrix organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field.
• 4–7 years of experience in supply chain, procurement, sourcing, project management, or analytics within a matrixed or global organization.
• Professional certifications (e.g., PMP, CAPM, Six Sigma) are a plus.
• Proficiency in Excel (formulas, pivot tables) and PowerPoint (presentation design).
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Proven ability to influence and build relationships across diverse teams and geographies.
• Strong problem-solving, critical-thinking, and stakeholder management abilities.
• Experience with supplier changes, transitions, or part qualification activity is an advantage but not required.

Responsibilities

• Project Management: Manage multiple supply chain continuity projects simultaneously, from intake and scoping through execution and closure — defining outcomes, milestones and resource needs, and delivering to plan.
• Supplier Transitions: Manage assigned supplier transitions — site moves, dual-sourcing, supplier exits and integration activity — ensuring complete part lists are captured, qualification and audit activity is scheduled, and supply is protected throughout.
• Change Management: Manage supplier change notifications for assigned continuity projects — confirming incoming changes are accurate and complete, resolving conflicts, and routing and expediting approvals to meet Applied change management requirements.
• SNF Administration: Support the SNF program team with day-to-day administration of the Supplier Notification Form process — reviewing incoming supplier submissions for completeness, routing them to the correct approvers, and following up on aging tasks.
• Material Movement: Plan and track the movement of material between suppliers, Applied sites and qualification locations — coordinating shipments, documentation and delivery commitments so material arrives when the project plan requires it.
• Collaboration & Communication: Build and maintain strong working relationships across Global Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, the Business Units and supplier contacts. Convene working meetings, document decisions, hold owners to their commitments, and provide clear and timely status to stakeholders at all levels.
• Risk & Issue Management: Identify risk early, confirm ownership with the responsible functions, track dependencies and open decisions, and limit downstream delay.
• Analytics & Reporting: Pull and validate part, supplier and project data, analyze, and develop the reporting used to track material status and risk reporting that drives decisions.
• Continuous Improvement & Documentation: Ensure all phases of project, program and process development are documented and disseminated to the relevant functional areas, and contribute improvements to team templates, playbooks and standards.
