Position Overview

The SCM Business Operations Manager is a highly strategic and high-impact role designed to operate as the Chief of Staff and trusted advisor to the Head of Global Supply Chain Management.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the primary liaison between Global SCM and other key executive stakeholders (Sales, Manufacturing, Finance, and R&D) to ensure seamless alignment of goals.
• Executive Reporting: Synthesize complex supply chain data into clear, actionable insights and executive briefings for the C-suite and Board of Directors.

Crisis Management & Escalation Resolution

• Escalation Management: Own and resolve high-visibility escalations, removing roadblocks and mobilizing necessary resources to protect revenue, customer satisfaction, and brand reputation.
• Risk Mitigation: Proactively scan the macroeconomic and supply chain "horizon" to identify potential risks and develop robust contingency and business continuity plans.

Task Force Leadership & Strategic Initiatives

• Task Force Assembly: Rapidly build, deploy, and lead cross-functional task forces to address urgent business needs, sudden market shifts, or critical supply chain transformations.
• Project Delivery: Drive high-priority strategic initiatives from ideation through execution, ensuring milestones are met on time and within budget.
• Process Optimization: Continuously evaluate business operations to identify inefficiencies, implementing scalable solutions that elevate the overall performance of the SCM organization.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience in Supply Chain Management, Business Operations, Strategy, or Management Consulting. Minimum 3+ years in a leadership or senior managerial capacity.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field. An MBA or advanced degree is highly preferred.

• Executive Presence: Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and build consensus among C-level executives and global leaders.
• Strategic Agility: Ability to zoom out to see the big strategic picture, and zoom in to untangle complex, tactical operational issues.
• Analytical Acumen: Strong data-driven decision-making skills with the ability to cut through noise and identify root causes swiftly.

Who You Are

• A Calming Force: You maintain composure and provide clear direction in highly ambiguous and high-pressure situations.
• A Bridge Builder: You naturally break down silos and build strong, collaborative relationships across all levels of an organization.
• A Bias for Action: You do not wait to be told what to do; you anticipate needs, assemble the right minds, and drive solutions.
