About The Position

The Supply Chain Manager (SCM) is ASML’s logistics interface to its supply base and responsible for material availability for ASML factories. In today’s complex multi-tier supply chains, this is only possible by creating full transparency in the chains and flexibility at suppliers. The SCM addresses potential bottlenecks and supply risks before they impact our customers. The SCM must handle the increased complexity of the ASML light source while reducing cost of ownership for customers. To do this, the SCM works with strategic suppliers to continuously reduce cycle times, secure capacity & increase flexibility and develop supply chain performance of suppliers. Driving supplier development in these areas ensures ASML’s supply base keeps pace with technological developments and can adapt to changing market conditions. The role also converts complex supply chain data into actionable insights, challenges assumptions through structured critical thinking, and leverages digital and AI-enabled tools to improve decision quality, scenario planning, and execution speed. This position may require access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require the Company to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
