Descrizione del lavoro

A global leader in the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem is looking for a Senior Manager, Supply Chain Risk to build the company's first truly integrated, end-to-end supply chain risk program.

This is a program-building role at a pivotal moment. The company's supply base is scaling rapidly, and the complexity of managing geopolitical, financial, capacity, and sustainability risk across a global supplier network demands a dedicated leader with vision, structure, and the ability to operate across functions without direct authority.

The incoming leader will consolidate fragmented risk intelligence into a single, executive-ready operating system for supply chain risk — influencing how category managers build sourcing strategies and how senior leadership makes investment decisions.

This role has been explicitly scoped as a successor-track position, with a defined path toward Director.

What You’ll Own

Risk Program Leadership

Build and govern the company's supplier risk management framework across a global direct supply base. Stand up a risk register, define escalation thresholds and mitigation playbooks, and consolidate risk tools and methodologies currently spread across the organization.

Supplier Risk Assessment & Mitigation

Partner with category and supplier managers to assess supplier‑specific risk — financial health, geopolitical exposure, capacity, operational resilience, and sustainability. Identify and drive mitigation strategies including alternate sourcing, dual sourcing, inventory buffering, and regional diversification. Audit supplier Business Continuity Plans and drive corrective action where gaps exist.

Sustainability & Compliance

Lead the Supply Chain Sustainability team and own programs including RBA compliance, Conflict Minerals reporting, supplier emissions tracking, and related regulatory initiatives.

Executive Engagement

Deliver executive‑ready dashboards, risk summaries, and quarterly program reviews to senior leadership. Translate complex, ambiguous risk signals into clear, decision‑ready visibility for the business.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain management, strategic sourcing, supplier management, or supply chain risk
• Demonstrated track record building or scaling enterprise‑level risk or resilience programs — from identification through mitigation strategy and executive reporting
• Proven people leadership in matrixed, global environments — hiring, coaching, performance management
• Strong understanding of global supply chain dynamics: capacity risk, financial health, geopolitical exposure, regulatory considerations, and supplier resilience
• Ability to translate complex, ambiguous risk data into actionable business insights for senior leadership
• Track record of influencing cross‑functional stakeholders — Sourcing, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Sustainability — without direct authority
• Familiarity with global regulatory, trade, ESG, and sustainability risk factors

Industry background: Semiconductor experience is not required. Candidates from automotive, defense, pharma, industrial, or other complex manufacturing environments are strongly encouraged to apply.
