Nice To Haves

Significant experience in supply chain and operations within a manufacturing industry
Understanding of ERP, MRP, planning systems, and data tools (Excel required; Power BI/Tableau a plus)
Understanding of key supply chain processes such as planning / SIOP, sourcing, manufacturing, delivery and delivery governance (short term interval control, rate readiness, ERP compliance, data integrity management).
Logistics, warehousing, and returns experience is not required
Strong track record driving cross-functional accountability without direct authority — this role must move people to closure, not just track them
Comfortable dealing with ambiguity and complex environments

Responsibilities

Serve as the central point of accountability for the assigned delivery improvement initiatives: charter, governance, and outcomes
Manage a portfolio of active and potential improvement projects, taking accountability for the schedule, milestones, risk, and regular reporting of progress.
Convene and run recurring task force reviews with cross-functional leads (planning, procurement, quality, manufacturing, engineering) to drive issues to closure — not just status updates
Maintain communications with stakeholders including status reporting to senior stakeholders as defined in the project governance structure for the assigned projects
Manage project changes, such as cancelling projects or changing scope of projects to react to changes in direction
Escalate systemic or cross-functional blockers to leadership with clear options and recommendations
Validate that implemented fixes eliminate recurrence through follow-up audits
Institutionalize permanent fixes into standard work — updated planning parameters, supplier requirements, or process controls — so the task force can eventually stand down
Support and/or lead communities of practice across the global DeliveryWorks program management team
