Global Team Leadership • Lead and develop globally distributed planning, operations, and supply chain teams. • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and disciplined execution in a high‑velocity environment. What You Bring • Proven ability to lead complex, global supply chains across design, manufacturing, assembly, and test. • Strong customer‑facing leadership presence, with experience influencing outcomes across company boundaries. • Deep operational judgment to navigate ambiguity, shortages, and competing priorities. • Ability to translate technical and operational complexity into business outcomes. Required Skills & Experience • 12+ years of progressive experience in supply chain operations, planning, manufacturing, or product operations. • Demonstrated leadership across forecasting, capacity planning, pricing, and supply assurance. • Experience driving cross‑functional execution across engineering, operations, finance, and sales. • Track record of owning execution for high‑volume, advanced technology products. Preferred Skills & Experience • Foundry, semiconductor manufacturing, or advanced technology supply chain experience. • Experience managing external manufacturing partners, OSATs, and strategic suppliers. • Background in pricing strategy, NRE negotiations, and commercial deal structures. • Experience supporting product ramps, node transitions, and new technology introductions. • Ability to operate effectively with executive stakeholders and Tier‑1 customers.
