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:  

1. Communicate well in English both in verbal and written form
2. Strong project management, organizational, and analytical skills required
3. 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
