As a Supply Chain Program Manager, you will:

  • Manage Strategic Relationships: Collaborate with supplier leadership to manage key partnerships and ensure the delivery of all contracted requirements.
  • Optimize Resources: Allocate supply chain resources effectively and develop programmatic strategies that address specific business requirements.
  • Mitigate Risk: Monitor market trends, supplier performance, and industry developments to anticipate potential risks and identify opportunities for the business.
  • Mentor and Lead: Provide leadership, guidance, and mentorship to subcontract project management, fostering a culture of accountability and innovation.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Serve as an engaged member of the program team, advising leadership on all aspects of supply chain execution and facilitating communication between functional teams.


This position will be posted for at least 5 calendar days. The posting will remain active until the position is filled, or a qualified pool of candidates is identified.
