Supply Chain Analyst

Duration: 12 Months

Summary:

Supply Chain Operations Associate

The AI, Compute, and Storage (ACS) team within the Global Supply Chain Operations (GSCO) group is responsible for teaming with our supply chain partners to build, deliver, and enable Client’s AI and Compute and Storage infrastructure. Client’s computing foundation is its Data Centers, and key strategic partnerships with Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) across the Compute and Storage industry are a crucial piece in building and operationalizing this infrastructure. The ACS-GSCO is responsible for managing these relationships, setting and achieving key performance metrics (ex. On-time delivery) from our ODM partners while working dynamically to unlock challenges on the tactical (ex. supply), strategic (ex. sourcing strategy), and foundational (ex. process overhaul) levels for both ODMs and Client. The team is dynamic, needing to coordinate across engineering, NPI, mass production, and sustaining challenges all within a given cycle, while also being subject matter experts, with deep familiarity across ODM management, production, manufacturing, and delivery best practices. Put simply: the ACS-GSCO team is composed of flexible problem solvers who build relationships both within- and beyond- Client to achieve industry-leading performance and pave the way for Client’s AI-enabled infrastructure.

The Supply Chain Operations Associate is an important role for the ACS-GSCO team, playing a pivotal part in operationalizing our global supply chain. This role will play an important part in interfacing with all of our operational compute-and-storage supply and systems to enable Client’s world-wide infrastructure. Serving as part of our business enablement team, this individual plays a crucial role in ensuring material readiness and ODM performance lines up with the dynamic needs of Client’s infrastructure program.
