About The Position

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. You will serve as the global owner and technical program lead for AMD’s enterprise Transportation Management System (TMS), defining strategy, selecting technology partners, and delivering scalable, automated transportation capabilities across AMD’s global supply chain. This role owns the full system lifecycle—from requirements and architecture through vendor selection, implementation, integration, global deployment, and long‑term sustainment—and acts as the single‑threaded owner partnering closely with Logistics, IT, Procurement, Finance, Trade Compliance, and regional operations teams to deliver measurable business value. With a strong focus on automation and AI‑enabled capabilities across transportation planning, execution, visibility, exception management, and analytics, this position operates with high autonomy and broad cross‑functional influence to modernize AMD’s logistics technology ecosystem. You are a technically grounded program leader who thrives at the intersection of logistics operations, enterprise systems, and data. You are comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy, making architecture‑level decisions, and driving alignment across diverse stakeholder groups. You bring structure to ambiguity, communicate clearly at both working and executive levels, and maintain a strong bias toward scalable, standardized solutions.
