Job Description & Details
This is a heavy-hitting strategic program management role focused on redesigning end-to-end supply chains and electrical product manufacturing footprints. You will spend your days bridging the gap between high-level finance, global procurement, and gritty ERP configurations to make supply chain localization actually happen.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You will own the entire lifecycle of regionalization initiatives, starting from mapping the current supplier network to pitching multi-million dollar business cases to the executive steering committee. Expect to spend a lot of time wrestling with total landed cost models, figuring out tariff mitigation strategies, and coordinating across stubborn cross-functional teams like manufacturing, logistics, and IT. You're not just theorizing; you are building the actual financial models, risk assessments, and implementation roadmaps that dictate where products are built and warehoused.
The Core Tech Stack
You need deep expertise in complex supply chain network design tools, advanced financial modeling (NPV, ROI, CAPEX/OPEX), and enterprise resource planning systems like SAP, Oracle, or Kinaxis. The hiring team is relying on your ability to evaluate how moving a manufacturing line or distribution center impacts granular ERP data structures like Bills of Materials (BOMs), material masters, and planning parameters without breaking the system.
Interview Expectations
Expect the interviewers to drill down into your financial modeling prowess by asking you to walk through a time you built a business case for a major supply chain disruption or localization effort under extreme ambiguity. They will also test your cross-functional influence by asking how you handle conflicting priorities between finance teams who want to slash costs and manufacturing teams who want to mitigate risk.
Application Advice
Your resume needs to scream program management and hard financial impact rather than just daily operational duties. Make sure to prominently feature keywords like "supply chain localization," "total landed cost," "CAPEX/OPEX analysis," and specific ERP platforms like SAP or Oracle to clear the automated filters. Highlight numbers and scale—mention the dollar values of the business cases you've built and the size of the multinational programs you've successfully driven to executive approval.
