The posting

JMA is restoring U.S. leadership in wireless technology at a critical time in the transition to 5G. It makes the world’s most advanced software-based 5G platform, designed, coded, and manufactured in Syracuse, NY at the only U.S.-owned 5G factory in the country.

Across its global tech centers, JMA makes 5G possible for organizations with the most critical connectivity demands in the world. JMA’s technology is ushering in a new era of connectivity for leading mobile carriers, the most iconic stadiums, major universities, leading healthcare centers, the busiest transit centers, and the U.S. Military.

5G is more than another G on your phone — it is a generational opportunity to change the way the world operates. Join the industry’s fastest growing technology company to shape that future today.

The Director of Global Supply Chain and Purchasing will be based out of the Liverpool, NY office and plays a pivotal role in strategically steering the company’s global supply chain operations.

This role leads JMA’s global strategic sourcing and supply chain function to ensure on time delivery to customers, cost competitiveness, supply continuity, and supplier performance across all product lines.

  • Monitor commodity markets and supply trends to mitigate cost volatility and supply risk.
  • Establish supplier performance metrics including quality, delivery, responsiveness, and cost competitiveness.
  • Lead supplier performance reviews and improvement initiatives.
  • Develop contingency sourcing strategies to mitigate supply disruption risk.
  • Own overarching S&OP/D&OP operating mechanisms to ensure optimum information sharing and cross functional alignment on sales/manufacturing/inventory planning.
  • Define stocking and planning strategies to balance stock levels to cut holding costs while maintaining OTD to customer.
  • Define and own operating mechanisms to track actual vs. target, identification of gaps and gap closure activities (including slow moving/excess/obsolete inventory).
  • Partner with Engineering, Operations, Logistics, and Quality to support new product launches and ongoing production needs.
  • Support Design for Cost (DFC) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives with R&D and manufacturing engineering teams.
  • Align sourcing strategies with production capacity plans and revenue forecasts.
  • Expand and diversify the global supplier base to support operational growth and mitigate global supply risk.
  • Support supplier development and capability expansion initiatives.
  • Drive supplier engagement in JMA’s Lean and continuous improvement culture.
  • Lead and develop sourcing professionals and commodity managers.
  • Establish sourcing KPIs and performance tracking aligned with JMA’s operational goals.
  • Promote cross-functional collaboration and a culture of accountability.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, Business, Engineering, or related field (MBA preferred)
  • 12-15 years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain leadership
  • 5-8 years' experience in global manufacturing & planning leadership

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
