Delivery Manager | Onsite

The Delivery Manager is responsible for leading the end-to-end supply chain execution of contracted projects from 70% confidence through final delivery (typical lifecycle ~26 weeks). This role represents Supply Chain as the single point of accountability to Project Management, Sales, and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring that materials, planning, logistics, and supplier performance align with contractual commitments and customer expectations. The Delivery Manager governs project-level supply chain planning and execution, drives on-time supplier shipment and project delivery performance, and ensures system integrity within Nextpower’s planning environment (Anaplan). This role partners cross-functionally to mitigate delivery risks, maintain data accuracy, and enable operational excellence across regions.

Key Responsibilities

Project Supply Chain Ownership & Execution

Own supply chain execution for assigned projects from 70% handoff through fulfillment completion.

Represent Supply Chain in 70%, 90%, and 100% project handoff reviews, proactively identifying risks related to BOM alignment, NPI status, domestic content requirements, lead times, and delivery schedules.

Ensure project delivery plans align with contractual agreements and commercial commitments.

Serve as the primary supply chain interface for Project Managers and Sales, providing clear visibility into supply status, risks, and mitigation plans.

Planning & System Governance (Anaplan / ERP)

Ensure new contracted projects are accurately planned, allocated, and maintained in Nextpower’s planning system (Anaplan).

Validate supply allocation against demand and contractual timelines to ensure feasible delivery plans.

Ensure integrity and accuracy of supply chain planning data, including master data, allocations, and data flows across systems.

Supplier & Delivery Performance Management

Drive supplier On-Time Shipment (OTS) performance to support regional project On-Time Delivery (OTD) targets.

Monitor and resolve PO vs. SO variances to align supply with demand until project completion.

Troubleshoot delivery constraints by coordinating closely with Planning, Sourcing, Logistics, and Project Management teams.

Ensure compliance with agreed logistics terms (Incoterms, shipment timing, routing) and contractual delivery conditions.

Cross-Functional Risk Management & Coordination

Act as the central coordination point between Engineering, Sourcing, NPI, Planning, Logistics, and Project Operations to ensure supply chain readiness.

Identify supply risks early (capacity, lead time shifts, NPI readiness, supplier constraints) and drive mitigation strategies.

Support resolution of escalations impacting delivery timelines or customer commitments.

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

Build operational excellence by standardizing delivery processes, improving planning accuracy, and reducing delivery variability.

Drive lean process improvements within project supply chain execution to minimize expedites, disruptions, and inefficiencies.

Contribute to development of scalable best practices across regions to improve supply chain predictability and service performance.
