Develop launch readiness plans, risk assessments, supplier tracking processes, and transition strategies that reduce disruption and support customer commitments.
Partner with suppliers and cross-functional teams to resolve material, capacity, tooling, quality, documentation, and delivery risks before launch milestones.
Align launch schedules with production, inventory, capacity, and customer requirements to support smooth and reliable ramp-up performance.
Drive proactive risk escalation, lessons learned, and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen future launch readiness and supply chain performance.
What We're Looking For
Experience leading or coordinating supply chain readiness, materials planning, supplier readiness, procurement, manufacturing planning, or new product introduction activities.
Strong project leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across functions and organizational levels.
Knowledge of material planning, supplier capacity management, production ramp-ups, product transfers, and supply chain risk management.
Experience working with ERP/MRP systems and maintaining accurate planning, supplier, sourcing, and master data to support operational readiness.
Demonstrated commitment to the Danfoss behaviors, inclusive leadership, continuous improvement, and creating collaborative environments where diverse perspectives can thrive.
What You'll Get from Us
The opportunity to make a visible impact on customer success, product launches, and supply chain performance across North America.
Exposure to global teams, strategic supply chain initiatives, and cross-functional leadership opportunities.
A collaborative and inclusive environment where your ideas, experiences, and perspective are valued and respected.
