Job summary

NVIDIA is building a global Inventory Control function from the ground up at its Santa Clara, CA headquarters. This senior leadership role will hire five specialists and establish policy, controls and audit standards across the supply chain.

You will own SOX 404, lead cycle counts, reconcile across SAP and external ERP, and guide buy/sell transitions with OSAT partners. Travel ~20% and interact with Audit Committee.

Qualifications

• Senior leadership experience in operations finance or inventory control within an international high-tech or semiconductor setting, involving multi-tier bills of material.
• 12+ years of progressive experience including direct ownership of inventory accounting, standard cost, variance analysis, reserve methodology, aging governance, write-off subject area, and the financial controls behind a manufacturing P&L.
• End-to-end SOX 404 program ownership — test of design, test of effectiveness, named-owner walk-throughs with Big 4 external auditors, Audit Committee remediation cycles, and defensible preparer/reviewer evidentiary separation.
• Hands‑on SAP fluency across MM, WM, IM, and CO/FI. Cycle counting, book-to-book reconciliation, adjustment posting, inventory valuation, MB51, MB52, LI20/LI21, LX26, and SLOC-level reporting.
• A history of managing variance investigations to completion involving in-transit aging, book-to-book discrepancies, SLOC mapping challenges, non-valued-location drift, and NPI/RMA plant misconfiguration.
• The capacity to define standards centrally and achieve outcomes through influence across distributed regional teams, contract manufacturers, OSAT partners, 3PL warehouses, and forward-stocking locations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, or Operations, or demonstrated equivalent experience with 8+ years in management.

Responsibilities

• Build the team and the function. Hire and develop a team of five inventory control specialists spanning Factory, Fulfillment, Logistics, OSAT, and Service categories. Establish the continuous control monitoring system they manage.
• Own inventory assurance for the global supply chain. Lead the controls and reconciliation work that gives Finance reliable inventory balances, aging, and variance evidence for valuation, reserves, write-off treatment, and quarter-end close.
• Run SOX 404 compliance for the inventory cycle end to end. Host external auditor walk-throughs, present to the Audit Committee, and maintain rigorous preparer/reviewer separation.
• Architect the control framework for the buy/sell transition. Design controls that hold as inventory ownership models shift, and that scale from OSAT die operations through rack-scale system integration across both forward and reverse logistics.
• Manage the continuous control assessment system. This includes anomaly and perfect-match detection during regular book-to-book reconciliation, monitoring in-transit aging limits, overseeing off-SAP and non-valued-location governance, ensuring accuracy in SAP storage-location mapping, and conducting quarterly access certification for the transaction family.
• Lead organizational change at global scale. Convert tribal, single-point-of-failure expertise into documented, ISO-aligned, certification-backed process across dozens of contract manufacturer sites and the broader supplier network.
