We are seeking a Director, Supply Chain Sourcing Strategy & Analytics to lead sourcing strategy for critical technologies such as Memory and Storage, build analytical tools that enable faster, smarter decision-making, and develop robust market intelligence assessments. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, market research, and spend analytics—shaping multi-year sourcing strategies informed by market dynamics, translating complex data into clear insights, and guiding executive decisions on supplier selection, commercial structures, and risk management.

Partner with Finance and Operations to build forecast-to-commit analytics and drive tighter linkages between sourcing strategy and capacity plans.
Collaborate in the development of multi-year sourcing strategies aligned with product roadmaps, volume ramps, and technology transitions, while defining the supplier ecosystem approach (multi-sourcing strategies, qualification plans, and risk mitigation).
Provide analytical support for total cost of ownership (TCO) assessments to inform sourcing and investment decisions.
Partner with sourcing leaders on complex commercial agreements, including long-term agreements (LTAs), capacity reservations, pricing frameworks, risk-sharing models, lead-time and allocation terms, and supply assurance provisions.
