Siemens is looking for a Director of Operations Supply Chain to lead the Operations Supply Chain function across the SI EP NA factory network, integrating materials management, inventory, resilience, demand/capacity planning, logistics capability, and digital transformation into one data-driven operating model across Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.

This role owns the Operations Integrated Business Planning framework, translating commercial demand into clear operational views of capacity, material readiness, inventory impact, execution risk, and required trade-offs. It ensures the factory network has a strong, data-driven voice in the enterprise S&OP process.

Serves as the Operations owner for the Sherpa X / SAP S/4 supply-chain transition while advancing automation, analytics, AI, and predictive planning. The role improves inventory performance, strengthens supply resilience, enables proactive demand/supply management, and creates transparent operating visibility across the network.

You will make an impact by:

Sherpa X / SAP S/4 Operations Transition:

• Own the implementation roadmap of EP NA Operations processes to the harmonized Sherpa X S/4 template, ensuring regional requirements are represented in the program.
• Partner with Business Technology and Finance to align common solutions and sustain the operations elements of SAP post-launch.

Tactical Materials & Inventory Management:

• Maintain KPIs for inventory turns, working capital, material availability, shortages, and supplier/material risks.
• Standardize and train core materials management processes across the EP NA factory network in alignment with OpsEdge.
• Work with factories to balance service levels, cost, inventory performance, and material readiness.

Operations IBP, Demand Translation & Capacity Planning:

• Own the Operations IBP framework, translating demand into capacity, material readiness, inventory impact, execution risk, and trade-off decisions.
• Represent the factory network in S&OP, ensuring operational constraints and risks are understood before business is loaded.
• Partner with the Systems S&OP team to provide factory input and scenarios without duplicating their demand-planning ownership.
• Establish planning governance with defined frozen, slushy, and flexible horizons to stabilize factory execution.
• Consolidate demand, capacity, inventory, supplier risk, and material availability into one operating framework for faster decisions.

Supply Chain Hardening & Resilience:

• Develop and implement supply-chain risk and resilience programs, including dual-sourcing, network redundancy, etc.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and mitigate supply-continuity risks.

Continuous Improvement & Digital Supply Chain Transformation:

• Drive continuous improvement across materials, inventory, planning, logistics, and end-to-end supply chain execution.
• Advance digital supply chain capabilities through automation, analytics, AI, and predictive planning.
• Build scalable logistics and supply chain capability in the plants, including structure, succession, and talent development.
• Share lessons learned and deploy best practices across the region in alignment with OpsEdge.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Lead cross-functional root-cause analysis and sustainable corrective action for supply issues.
• Coordinate with Global Procurement, Finance, Segments, and Factory Operations to align priorities and execution.
• Strengthen plant logistics execution while maintaining common standards, governance, and visibility across the regional model.
