About the role
C3 AI is seeking an Industry Solution Leader (ISL) for High Tech Manufacturing to lead the design and delivery of enterprise AI solutions for its clients with a specialization in Semiconductor and Fuel Cell Fabrication.
C3 AI is seeking an Industry Solution Director, Supply Chain to lead the design and delivery of enterprise AI solutions for complex global supply chain and manufacturing organizations.
Industry Solution Directors combine deep domain expertise with end-to-end ownership of customer solutions. They are expected to understand a customer’s supply chain and operating environment deeply enough to challenge assumptions, identify and quantify the highest-value opportunities, define the right technical solution, and lead cross-functional teams through design, deployment, validation, and scale.
The role combines the responsibilities of a senior supply chain expert and solution leader. Industry Solution Directors work directly with customer supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, logistics, finance, technology, and executive teams while leading C3 AI Forward Deployed Engineers, data scientists, product teams, and other technical resources to deliver measurable business outcomes.
The ideal candidate brings significant experience in supply chain planning, manufacturing operations, inventory management, production planning, logistics, procurement, pricing, or operations research and has the technical judgment, customer leadership, and delivery ownership required to lead complex enterprise AI solutions from problem definition through production.
The ISL, High Tech Manufacturing - Semiconductor and Fuel Cell Fabrication should have hands-on experience in semiconductor fab operations or process engineering (or comparable fuel-cell/advanced-manufacturing fabrication), including lithography, deposition, etch, inspection, or adjacent fab steps, with ownership of yield, cycle time, WIP, excursions, tool availability, capacity, or process optimization.
RESPONSIBILITIES
•
Own the overall solution strategy, technical direction, and delivery outcomes for assigned customer engagements, maintaining accountability from initial problem definition through production deployment and scale.

•
Identify and quantify high-impact opportunities across demand planning, inventory optimization, supply planning, production planning, scheduling, pricing, procurement, logistics, order fulfillment, service levels, and working capital.
•
Translate complex supply chain and operational challenges into tractable AI, machine learning, optimization, and software problems with clearly defined decision variables, constraints, requirements, success criteria, and expected business value.
•
Lead engagements through use case definition, requirements gathering, solution architecture, application configuration, validation, production deployment, user adoption, and scale-out.
•
Apply deep supply chain expertise to challenge assumptions, evaluate analytical approaches, interpret results, and ensure solutions reflect the operational and economic realities of the customer’s business.
•
Lead cross-functional teams of Forward Deployed Engineers, data scientists, product managers, engineers, and industry experts, establishing technical priorities and driving alignment around customer outcomes.
•
Work directly with customer planners, manufacturing teams, commercial and pricing teams, procurement organizations, logistics teams, technology leaders, finance stakeholders, and executives to validate requirements, workflows, recommendations, and business impact.
