Supply Chain Digitization Lead

What if you could help a global industrial organization determine where AI and digital technology will create the greatest value across its supply chain—and then turn those opportunities into action?

Our client is seeking a Supply Chain Digitization Lead to shape its enterprise approach to digital supply-chain transformation. Rather than solving isolated problems one at a time, you will work across the value chain to identify high-impact opportunities, evaluate their feasibility and business value, and create a prioritized, multi-year transformation roadmap.

This is a highly visible individual-contributor role with CIO and CPO sponsorship. You will collaborate with supply-chain subject-matter experts, business leaders and technology teams across four distinct businesses.

This is not a traditional supply-chain operations role, an ERP implementation position or a project-management assignment. It is an opportunity to determine what should be transformed, why it matters and how the strongest ideas should move forward.

What You’ll Own

• Assess opportunities across planning, procurement, inventory, logistics, warehousing and the broader supply-chain network.
• Translate advancements in AI, automation, analytics and digital applications into practical business solutions.
• Build and manage a prioritized portfolio of digital supply-chain opportunities.
• Develop business cases that consider ROI, cost, feasibility, data readiness, integration, scalability and risk.
• Create a multi-year transformation roadmap aligned with enterprise and business-unit priorities.
• Advance selected initiatives from problem definition through prototype, pilot and validation.
• Establish success measures tied to cost, service, inventory, productivity, working capital and risk reduction.
• Transition validated solutions to established development and implementation teams.
• Build alignment among executives, functional leaders, operational SMEs, analysts, developers and data engineers without relying on direct authority.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience translating digital technology, AI, automation or analytics into practical business solutions.
• Credibility within a complex industrial, manufacturing or supply-chain environment.
• Evidence of personally assessing opportunities and creating a digital or business-transformation roadmap.
• Experience moving an initiative from problem identification through business case, pilot, validation and adoption.
• The ability to influence executives, technology partners and operational stakeholders who do not report to you.
• Strong business judgment, including the ability to balance potential value with feasibility, cost, data readiness and organizational risk.
• The communication skills to make complex technology understandable, relevant and actionable for business leaders.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Establish an enterprise capability rather than inherit a completed roadmap.
• Influence future digital and AI investment decisions across four businesses.
• Work with executive sponsors and established business and technology resources.
• Solve complex challenges involving cost, risk, service, inventory, logistics, warehousing and network design.
• Build visibility and potential career opportunities through measurable enterprise impact.
