Introduction
The OSAT Supplier and Operations Manager is a hybrid role combining hands-on outsourced assembly and test operations with strategic supplier management. The individual will work closely with OSAT partners and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure reliable execution while improving cost, quality, delivery, capacity, service, and supply-chain resilience.
The role reports into OSAT Operations in Singapore and has a dotted-line relationship to the Senior Manager of OSAT Sourcing in Taiwan. Success requires strong operational discipline, commercial acumen, data-driven problem solving, and the ability to align suppliers and internal teams across regions.

- Coordinate demand, supply, and capacity alignment with OSAT partners and internal stakeholders, including readiness for new products, ramps, qualifications, and business transitions.
- Lead structured problem solving and corrective-action follow-through for material shortages, quality excursions, delivery misses, capacity constraints, and other operational disruptions.
- Support business continuity planning, risk mitigation, recovery plans, and continuous improvement across the outsourced manufacturing network.
Supplier management and sourcing partnership
- Build collaborative, performance-oriented relationships with OSAT partners and establish clear accountability at working, management, and executive levels.
- Partner with OSAT Sourcing to develop and execute supplier strategies, negotiation plans, commercial initiatives, and annual cost-reduction roadmaps.
- Drive supplier performance through regular MORs, QBRs, and EBRs, using fact-based scorecards covering cost, quality, delivery, capacity, service, technology, and risk.
- Support commercial negotiations, contract implementation, pricing and cost analysis, productivity commitments, and resolution of operational or commercial claims.
- Identify opportunities to optimize total cost, operating model, capacity utilization, logistics flows, inventory, and supplier engagement.
Cross-functional leadership and governance
- Work closely with Supply Chain, Sourcing, Quality, Engineering, Business Units, Finance, Legal, and site operations to meet customer and business requirements.
- Provide concise, data-driven updates and recommendations to management and executives; lead complex, strategic, or business-critical projects as assigned.
- Ensure compliance with GlobalFoundries policies, sourcing procedures, contractual requirements, and standard operating procedures.
- Support purchase-order and commercial-governance activities for completeness, accuracy, and compliance within delegated authority.
