About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Risk Mapping & SPOF Identification: Conduct systematic supply chain risk assessments across the powertrain and powertrain installation network to identify single-source suppliers, geographic concentration risks, tooling bottlenecks, and other critical vulnerabilities.
Risk Management & Resiliency: Proactively identify and mitigate supply chain risks, ensuring continuity of supply and building resilient supplier networks. This involves monitoring supplier financial health and utilizing SRM (Supply Risk Management) tools to proactively identify and avoid future supply disruption.
Mitigation Strategy Development: Design and implement risk-mitigation plans (dual-sourcing, safety stock strategies, alternate tooling, supplier qualification pipelines) to eliminate or reduce the impact of identified risks.
IPTS Purchasing Leader Alignment & Commonality: Drive consistency and shared standards across IPTS Purchasing leaders by establishing common resiliency frameworks, tools, and decision criteria, ensuring coordinated action rather than fragmented, siloed responses to risk.
Cross-Functional Risk Governance: Partner with Purchasing and Product Development to embed resiliency criteria into sourcing decisions, program launches, and supplier selection processes.
Scenario Planning & Stress Testing: Lead tabletop exercises and disruption simulations (natural disasters, geopolitical events, logistics failures) to validate contingency plans and continuously refine response playbooks.
Corporate Resiliency Strategy Alignment: Translate enterprise-level supply chain resiliency objectives into actionable, IPTS-specific initiatives, ensuring consistency with broader corporate risk management frameworks.
Executive Reporting & Escalation: Develop dashboards and reporting cadences that provide leadership with visibility into risk exposure, mitigation progress, and resiliency KPIs, escalating critical issues to IPTS Purchasing leadership as needed to drive timely action.
