The applied aftermarket — service and replacement parts for Carrier's installed base of chillers and applied equipment — is a cornerstone of the aftermarket business and the engine behind CSS data-center chiller ramp (10X growth).

As Associate Director, you will own end-to-end procurement and parts-supply for the applied aftermarket and put in place the supplier-performance, parts-planning and data foundations that guarantee availability, protect cost, and enable the data-center service ramp up.

You will own category strategy, sourcing, supplier performance, standard and engineer-to-order parts planning, cost, and the data foundation (PFEP, AVL, BOM) for the CSS applied aftermarket. You will build and lead the parts-supply organization, be accountable for parts availability, OTIF, cost and the data-center parts ramp, and partner across field service, planning, factories, Commercial Parts and suppliers. The role reports to the AM Supply Chain Leader.

Parts availability & service (close the gaps)

Guarantee parts availability and drive RC-to-Service OTIF improvement.

Cost & data

Direct PFEP, AVL and BOM data — including the compressor-overhaul BOM.
