The group you’ll be a part of
Global Planning & Order Management
The impact you’ll make
The System Project Manager drives best-in-class execution, on-time to plan and high-quality, efficiency and scalability. This role ensures seamless coordination across functions, proactively manages risks, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement.
What you’ll do
Order commitment & execution
- Own customer orders end to end, from order entry through shipment. Drive on-time to plan (OTTP) delivery by managing milestones, including material readiness, manufacturing start, integration, test, packing and shipment.
- Commit customer ship dates on behalf of Global Operations, based on clear-to-build (CTB) status, capacity and supply risk. Take calculated risks to meet customer need, and re-commit openly when conditions change.
- Translate customer priorities into the production schedule. Work with Production Control and Master Scheduling to make sure build slots, manufacturing loading and warehouse kitting support the committed dates.
Material & production readiness
- Monitor material availability and critical shortages against each order's build schedule. Work with Supply Chain to pull in or recover parts and protect the ship date.
- Review backlog, work-in-progress (WIP) and order aging regularly. Identify at-risk orders early and put recovery plans in place, such as resequencing, reallocation, alternate configurations or build deviations.
- Assess the schedule impact of material constraints and other disruptions on customer orders. Lead the trade-off decisions needed to keep fulfillment on track.
Cross-functional leadership & escalation
- Lead cross-functional coordination of order execution across Global Operations, Global Customer Operations, Production Control, Procurement, Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics and the Product Groups.
- Drive escalations with clear data, options and owners. Follow action plans through to closure, and keep customer-facing teams informed with timely status updates.
Change management
- Oversee the change management process for ILT bill of materials (BOM), configuration and planning changes. Assess the impact on material, schedule and cost, present options to execute, and drive the actions that support each decision.
Shipment completeness & customer delivery
- Ensure every shipment is complete by managing shipping deviations, open items and ship-short parts, so customers can meet their installation timelines.
- Work with Logistics and Warehouse to make sure loading, documentation and delivery follow the customer's requirements.
Performance reporting & continuous improvement
- Track and report order fulfillment KPIs, such as OTTP, commit accuracy, backlog health, ship-complete rate and escalation aging. Interpret the data to support decisions and drive accountability.
- Find gaps in the fulfillment process and lead improvements using structured problem solving, such as 8D reports and the Problem Solving & Decision Making Process (PSDMP). Apply lean principles to reduce cycle time and waste.
- Mentor and guide team members on order fulfillment practices.
Who we’re looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, or related field with 5+ years of experience; or Master’s degree with 3+ years’ experience; or equivalent experience.
- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams and influencing stakeholders.
- Analytical skills to interpret and utilize data for decision support.
Preferred qualifications
- Semiconductor industry or global supplier experience is a plus.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
