## Description

Join a high-impact team at the heart of Cisco's Global Supply Chain as a Manufacturing Operations Supply Project Manager. You will help change the way the world works, lives, plays, and learns by orchestrating complex supply chains to deliver world-class results.

In this role, you will be the primary liaison between Technical, Fulfillment, and Product teams throughout the entire product lifecycle-from NPI (New Product Introduction) through sustaining and end-of-life. Your expertise will ensure that we balance supply and demand with surgical precision, protecting our revenue and improving the customer experience.

- Lifecycle Management: Lead the transition of PCBA deliveries and top-level assemblies through every stage of the product journey.

- Cross-Functional Leadership: Facilitate alignment between stakeholders to resolve bottlenecks and ensure project continuity.

- Financial Stewardship: Provide analytical support for the Inventory, Scrap, and E&O (Excess & Obsolete) processes to protect Cisco's gross margins.

Minimum qualifications:

- BA/BS degree plus 8-10 years of experience in Supply Chain, Manufacturing, or a related field (or an equivalent combination of education and experience).

- Strong background in Demand Planning, Manufacturing Operations, or Supply Chain analytics.

- Deep knowledge of end-to-end supply chain processes and global manufacturing models.

- Expert-level skills in MS Office (advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint).

- Native or professional-level English proficiency with the ability to influence stakeholders at various levels.

Preferred qualifications:

- Familiarity with PCBA manufacturing processes and NPI (New Product Introduction) environments.

- Hands-on experience with MRP/ERP systems (Oracle preferred) and advanced planning tools (e.g., Kinaxis RapidResponse).
