About the role
Role Scope
Own integration of key suppliers into the production system: their capacity, quality, and delivery synchronized with our build plan.
Stand up new suppliers: onboarding, data connections, and launch readiness managed like the internal launches they are.
Run supplier performance: scorecards, escalations, and the recovery plans when they slip.
Connect systems and process: forecasts, releases, and ASNs flowing without spreadsheets.
Requirements
Managed supplier launches or integration for a manufacturer.
Recovered failing suppliers with structured intervention.
Run scorecards suppliers respect because the data is right.
Connected supplier processes to ERP and MRP flows.
Build and run the global spares sourcing program for critical datacenter equipment (chillers, generators, switchgear) at multi-GW scale. Qualify/dual-source suppliers, set stocking levels tied to failure data and criticality, negotiate VMI/consignment terms, and partner with reliability teams to ensure zero downtime from parts shortages.
