Job Description

The Director of Supply Chain serves as the strategic business partner for a Global Business Unit, leading the end-to-end supply chain to enable profitable growth, exceptional customer experience, and superior financial performance. This role is accountable for translating business strategy into supply chain execution by aligning commercial demand, manufacturing, inventory, procurement, and logistics to deliver customer commitments while optimizing working capital, cost, and profitability.
