Supply Chain Manager
 
Want to own the supply chain behind innovative smart-home products from development through mass production?
 
As Supply Chain Manager, you'll take hands-on ownership of key elements of ASSA ABLOY Level's global supply chain, partnering with Engineering, Operations, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to get products built and launched successfully. You'll anticipate risk, solve problems, and improve cost, delivery, and supply performance.
 
The preferred location for this position is our ASSA ABLOY Level facility in Redwood City, CA. Additionally, this position may be based at our Sacramento, CA location.
 
What you'll do
  • Own supply chain execution across development builds, production ramp, and sustaining production.
  • Drive material readiness, clear-to-build status, and recovery plans to meet manufacturing and launch schedules.
  • Partner with Engineering to manage BOM, ECO/MCO, and part changes from release through implementation.
  • Manage suppliers and contract manufacturers, driving accountability for material, delivery, cost, and execution.
  • Identify shortages and supply risks early and lead mitigation through alternate sourcing, pull-ins, spot buys, or schedule changes.
  • Use data to improve cost, inventory, supplier performance, reporting, and supply chain processes.
What you'll bring
  • 4–6 years of progressive experience in supply chain, manufacturing, operations, or a related field, ideally in a hardware/product environment.
  • Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers or component suppliers and taking supply issues through resolution.
  • Experience partnering with Engineering and working with BOMs, part data, and engineering or manufacturing change control.
  • Strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel or Google Sheets capabilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities independently and turn data and problems into clear recommendations and action.
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
Even better:  Experience with consumer electronics, smart-home or electromechanical products; EVT/DVT/PVT and mass-production launches; Asia-based manufacturing partners; Arena or another PLM system; and supplier quoting or cost-reduction negotiations.
 
This role requires flexibility for occasional early-morning or evening calls with partners in Asia and approximately 10–15% travel, including international travel for critical builds.

We’re passionate about providing amazing opportunities and benefits so you can enjoy a lifelong career with us, including continuous professional development and an environment that fosters internal growth and mobility.
