Own supplier contracts and terms to minimize Marvell's risk exposure and hold suppliers accountable for performance and non-conformance.
Lead quarterly Supplier Performance reviews and scorecards, tracking suppliers against cost, quality, delivery, technology, and flexibility metrics; drive corrective action plans where needed.
Manage supply risk and business continuity planning, including dual-sourcing strategies, safety stock/capacity reservations, and mitigation of geopolitical and single-source exposure.
Support NPI and NRE procurement programs, securing substrate capacity, pricing, and engineering samples on aggressive development schedules.
Present regular supply health updates, risk assessments, and cost/savings reporting to procurement and engineering leadership.
Lead, mentor, and develop a team of commodity managers, buyers, and/or supply chain planners supporting the substrate commodity.
Represent Procurement in cross-functional escalations related to substrate supply, quality excursions, or capacity constraints.
