Lead quarterly business reviews and shape joint plans that connect cost, delivery, quality and sustainability priorities.
•
Deliver cost saving initiatives through Partners for Productivity, removing inefficiencies and simplifying processes over time. This includes reviewing Operations Efficiency by improving Control Plans, Sampling, reducing headcount and non-value added activities.
•
Oversee product lifecycle changes, including introductions and end‑of‑life, while coordinating supply planning and risk mitigation.
•
Manage the overall Budget for the assigned EMS supplier’s operations, including Service, Maintenance, Improvement projects, Operational Expenses etc.
Do you have what it takes?

Experience working with EMS suppliers in electronics manufacturing, including Surface Mount Technology (SMT) or box build environments.
•
Comfortable negotiating, building relationships and communicating clearly across functions and cultures.
•
Background in supply chain, business or engineering disciplines, with hands‑on exposure to manufacturing operations in Box Build assembly (from PCBA assembly to Final Assembly) will be required.

Able to work independently, set direction and follow through while supporting a diverse, inclusive team dynamic.
