About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Manager with deep semiconductor supply chain expertise to lead complex process transformation engagements across the semiconductor ecosystem. This role requires a detailed understanding of end-to-end semiconductor manufacturing — from silicon start through wafer fabrication, assembly/test, packaging, and integration into downstream applications — combined with the ability to drive large-scale process improvement initiatives in highly technical, capital-intensive environments. This individual will serve as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, leading multidisciplinary teams to improve supply planning performance, operational resilience, and end-to-end supply chain visibility. The role requires both semiconductor domain depth and strong consulting leadership capability.

Requirements

• Experience operating in a consultative leadership capacity, including structuring complex and ambiguous problems, leading executive workshops, managing client stakeholders, and delivering board-ready recommendations.
• Prior consulting experience, with experience at a Big 4 or Tier 1 IT services consulting firm preferred.
• Demonstrated leadership in semiconductor supply planning within wafer fabrication and/or assembly, test, and packaging environments.
• Deep understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes, including: Wafer fabrication flows and extended cycle times Yield management and capacity constraints Assembly/test operations and packaging dynamics Integration into OEM and end-market applications
• Proven success driving process improvements in constrained-capacity, long lead-time semiconductor environments with measurable operational or financial impact.
• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to engage engineering, operations, and C-level stakeholders credibly.
• Experience with ERP and advanced planning systems supporting semiconductor ecosystems (e.g., SAP IBP/APO, Oracle, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, OMP, or similar).
• Demonstrated leadership of cross-functional teams and multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Willingness to travel up to 50–60% based on client needs
• Bachelor’s degree required (Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or related field preferred)

Responsibilities

• Lead large-scale semiconductor supply chain process transformation engagements from diagnostic through implementation.
• Serve as a senior advisor to VP- and Director-level stakeholders across operations, supply chain, and engineering functions.
• Oversee and guide improvements across: Silicon start planning Wafer fabrication flow and cycle time optimization Assembly, test, and packaging operations Capacity modeling and constrained supply allocation Downstream product integration and customer fulfillment
• Design and implement advanced supply planning processes in long cycle-time, yield-driven, and capacity-constrained environments.
• Lead cross-functional workshops and executive steering sessions, driving alignment across technical and business stakeholders.
• Direct teams in developing actionable recommendations supported by data, scenario modeling, and financial impact analysis.
• Evaluate and optimize ERP and advanced planning system landscapes supporting semiconductor operations (e.g., SAP IBP/APO, Oracle, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, OMP, or similar).
• Contribute to business development, including proposal development, client relationship expansion, and thought leadership in semiconductor supply chain consulting.
• Coach and mentor junior consultants and managers across engagements.
