Applied Materials is seeking an experienced Compliance Project Manager. The role will be at the Austin office and is onsite (not remote or hybrid).

Role Overview

As a key member of the Strategy Office, you will own how the Global Supply Chain responds to product and environmental regulatory requirements — surveying the supply base, interpreting what the results mean for Applied's products, and driving the sourcing and engineering actions that follow. This role suits a supply chain professional who can read a complex data set and determine what to do about it: someone who turns supplier survey results into prioritized supplier, sourcing and engineering actions, and carries those actions to closure across a matrixed global organization.

• Must have supply chain, procurement or sourcing experience.
• Must have strong data analysis and reporting skills.
• Must have experience influencing and presenting data to executive level.

Key Responsibilities

• Supply Base Survey & Data Management: Own the supply base survey process — determine which suppliers, parts and materials to survey and to what level of detail, drive collection across the supply base, and hold suppliers accountable for complete, accurate and timely responses.
• Analytics & Reporting: Analyze large and complex supplier and product data sets using advanced analytics tools (Excel, Databricks, Tableau etc.) to identify exposure, risk and gaps. Develop the reporting that drives compliance and cost initiatives and informs sourcing decisions.
• Action Translation & Execution: Convert survey findings into prioritized supplier, sourcing and engineering actions — coordinating part changes, supplier requirements and engineering change with Supplier Account Management, Supplier Engineering, the Design Engineering Authority and the Business Unit materials through implementation.
• Regulatory Compliance: Serve as the Global Supply Chain point of contact for product and environmental regulatory requirements, including US-EPA/TSCA and EU/REACH, partnering with the Compliance Legal team on formal interpretation and with EHS as needed.
• Project Management: Lead and manage multiple compliance projects and programs simultaneously, applying best-in-class methodologies to ensure successful delivery of outcomes, milestones and resource allocation.
• Communication & Influence: Communicate complex findings and recommendations clearly and persuasively to stakeholders at all levels. Create impactful presentations and facilitate meetings to drive consensus and decision-making.
• Continuous Improvement & Documentation: Identify and implement process improvements that reduce manual effort and improve data quality. Ensure all phases of project, program and process development are documented and disseminated to the relevant functional areas.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 7–10 years of experience in material management, procurement, sourcing, program management or analytics within a matrixed or global organization.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret supplier and product data and translate findings into actionable supplier, sourcing and engineering outcomes.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel (formulas, pivot tables, data visualization) and PowerPoint (presentation design and storytelling); experience with Databricks, Tableau, Power BI or SQL preferred.
• Professional certifications (e.g., PMP, CAPM, Six Sigma) are a plus.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to influence and build relationships across diverse teams and geographies.
• Strong problem-solving, critical-thinking and stakeholder management abilities.
• Familiarity with product or environmental regulatory requirements is an advantage but not required; the right supply chain professional will be developed on the regulatory detail.

Impact Statement

This role is pivotal in keeping Applied's products compliant and its supply base able to supply them. Your analysis, and the actions you drive from it, will directly influence sourcing decisions, product change and the company's regulatory standing.
