Upstream Resiliency Leader

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Upstream Risk Identification & Strategy
Establish and scale a multi-layer upstream resiliency framework across portfolios
Lead identification and prioritization of high-risk components (e.g., single source, constrained markets, capacity gaps)
Drive forward-looking risk assessments (4Q/8Q horizon) leveraging supplier performance, lead times, and market intelligence
Define risk taxonomy, scoring methodology, and prioritization standards
2. Mitigation Ownership & Execution
Own end-to-end mitigation strategy for high-risk components
Translate risks into structured mitigation plans (alternate sourcing, qualification, LTAs, safety stock, capacity alignment)
Ensure clear accountability, timelines, and closure of mitigation actions across all workstreams
Drive measurable reduction in top supply risk exposure and escalation frequency
3. Cross-Functional Orchestration
Lead alignment across Engineering (design/qualification), Planning (supply parameters), and Commodity Management (contracts)
Resolve cross-functional gaps, dependencies, and decision bottlenecks
Act as the procurement lead in NPI and readiness forums to influence design, sourcing, and supply decisions
Ensure Procurement is embedded early to improve decision velocity and outcomes
4. Governance & Operating Model
Establish and run structured governance (weekly execution, escalation, leadership reviews)
Drive standardization of reporting, KPIs, and communication across resiliency workstreams
Institutionalize repeatable operating rhythms for risk review, mitigation tracking, and escalation
Enable consistent executive visibility into supply risk and mitigation progress
5. Data, Analytics & Digital Enablement
Drive transition from manual tracking to automated dashboards and integrated data visibility
Define critical KPIs (risk exposure, mitigation coverage, cycle time, supplier readiness)
Partner with digital/PMO teams to build scalable tools for component-level risk visibility and predictive analytics
6. Program Performance & Impact
Deliver measurable improvements in:
Supply assurance and continuity
High-risk component mitigation coverage
Early risk detection and decision lead time
Scale resiliency capability from pilot (eSSD) to full portfolio (cSSD, CS)
Reduce reactive firefighting through proactive risk management
REQUIRED:
6+ years in Procurement, Supply Chain, or Program Management in complex, global environments
Proven experience leading cross-functional programs with Engineering, Planning, and Supplier Management
Strong knowledge of supply risk drivers (single source, capacity, LT, contracts, geo exposure)
Demonstrated ability to build governance models, KPIs, and executive reporting
Experience in semiconductor, electronics, or high-tech manufacturing strongly preferred
Strong executive communication and stakeholder influence skills
Ability to present to all level of management / stakeholders and articulate strategies and performance metrics
Communication Skills:
Communicate well in English both in verbal and written form
Strong project management, organizational, and analytical skills required
Excellent team facilitation and presentation skills required
What Success Looks Like
Proactive identification and mitigation of upstream risks before impacting NBM execution
Full ownership and visibility of high-risk components with clear mitigation status
Scalable, repeatable resiliency operating model embedded across all portfolios
Measurable reduction in supply risk exposure and execution variability
Strong cross-functional alignment with clear accountability and decision velocity
