Description
Join NVIDIA as a Senior Material Planning Manager, leading the material planning team in a dynamic, quick-turn new product introduction environment. You'll build team capability, establish clear operating rhythms, and ensure timely Clear to Build (CTB) decisions for engineering builds.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead, coach, and develop the material planning team, establishing clear priorities, accountability, and performance expectations.
- Design scalable team structures, coverage models, and standard processes to support concurrent global NPI programs.
- Partner with Engineering Build Managers (EBMs) to ensure material readiness, successful builds, and on-time product launches.
- Maintain accurate demand, build quantities, lead times, BOM changes, and priorities within SAP and MRP.
- Collaborate with commodity managers and contract manufacturers to resolve shortages, secure supply, and recover at-risk builds.
- Lead shortage reviews and scenario planning, quantifying impacts, assigning actions, and escalating critical decisions.
- Translate program changes and engineering change orders into executable material plans and concise leadership updates.
- Develop and scale an AI roadmap that automates planning, improves data quality and predictability, strengthens controls, and measures business impact.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in supply chain, operations, industrial engineering, business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 12+ overall years of progressive experience in material planning, supply planning, procurement, or supply chain operations, including 6 years of leadership of planning teams.
- Demonstrated success supporting complex NPI or engineering-build environments with frequent changes in schedule, quantity, BOM, and priorities.
- Strong command of CTB management, MRP, inventory control, shortage management, BOM structures, and engineering change processes.
- Experience working with commodity managers, contract manufacturers, and global supply partners to resolve material constraints.
- Experience leading AI, analytics, automation, or digital transformation initiatives from business problem definition through adoption at scale.
- Proficiency with SAP or comparable ERP and MRP platforms, Excel, and planning or business-intelligence tools.
- Strong leadership, communication, and structured problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage tradeoffs and work across global time zones.
Nice to Have:
- Experience scaling a material planning organization for semiconductor, hardware, electronics, or other complex products.
- A record of improving CTB performance, planner productivity, or NPI execution through process redesign and data-driven operating mechanisms.
- Hands-on experience deploying AI-enabled planning solutions and enough knowledge of data, prompts, model evaluation, and responsible AI practices to guide technical partners.
