What you'll do...

• Map multi-tier supply networks for critical materials, components, and commodities to improve visibility beyond direct suppliers.

• Identify supply-chain vulnerabilities, including single-source dependencies, geographic concentration, capacity constraints, logistics disruptions, and raw-material availability risks.

• Analyze supplier, market, and operational data to assess potential production impacts and prioritize mitigation opportunities.

• Lead cross-functional working groups to develop and execute risk-reduction plans, such as qualifying alternate suppliers, validating substitute materials, or diversifying manufacturing locations.

• Create clear risk reports, dashboards, and executive updates that translate complex supply-chain information into actionable recommendations.

• Support proactive monitoring of supplier, commodity, logistics, and geopolitical trends to help prevent disruptions and strengthen long-term supply-chain resilience.

You'll have...

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, Logistics, Business, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience.

• Typically 5 to 8 years of experience in supply chain operations, procurement, supplier management, logistics, manufacturing, or supply-chain risk management.

• Experience analyzing multi-tier supplier networks, supplier dependencies, raw-material sourcing, supply disruptions, or business continuity risks.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional projects and influence stakeholders across purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing, and logistics.

• Experience using supply-chain visibility, risk-management, or supplier-mapping tools, such as Resilinc, Everstream, or similar platforms.

• Proficiency with data visualization and analysis tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Excel, or similar software.

• Working knowledge of product bills of materials, global logistics networks, international shipping terms, and North American trade requirements.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to convert complex information into clear business recommendations.

• Spanish language proficiency is a plus.

Even Better, You May Have:

• A master’s degree, MBA, APICS or ASCM certification, commodity expertise in semiconductors, battery materials, or metals, and experience with enterprise resource planning platforms such as SAP or Oracle are preferred.
