Procurement & SCM Manager

Hanwha Convergence USA (HCU) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanwha Energy and the sole O&M service provider within Hanwha Group, delivering end-to-end Solar and BESS Operations & Maintenance across 70+ active utility-scale sites in the U.S. In addition to O&M, HCU operates a growing System Integration (SI) business, providing electrical, instrumentation & control (I&C), and control system integration services — including PLC/HMI/SCADA, HVAC/UPW controls, and power monitoring systems — for semiconductor, energy, and advanced manufacturing customers.

The Procurement & SCM Manager will own end-to-end procurement strategy and execution across both the O&M and SI business lines, ensuring cost-competitive, compliant, and timely sourcing of materials, equipment, and subcontracted services. In addition, this role will serve as the pre-bookkeeping owner of Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) visibility — consolidating and interpreting AR/AP data before it is formally booked by the Finance team, maintaining a management-level AR/AP dashboard, and working closely with field teams to keep that data accurate and current.

This is a cross-functional role that bridges Procurement, Field Operations, and Finance to support informed executive decision-making.

• Lead end-to-end sourcing and procurement for both O&M and SI business lines, including materials, spare parts, equipment, and subcontracted/EPC-related services (e.g., PLC, HMI, MCC, cabling, instrumentation).
• Manage the RFQ/RFP process: prepare RFQs/RFPs to qualified suppliers, maintain bid schedules aligned with project timelines, coordinate RFI responses, and evaluate proposals against historical and market pricing to identify cost‑saving opportunities.
• Lead vendor negotiations and PO/contract issuance to secure cost-competitive and reliable supply.
• Own vendor and OEM partnership agreements (e.g., preferred pricing/technical support arrangements) and maintain the approved vendor list.
• Identify, qualify, and onboard new vendors; monitor supplier compliance with contract terms and project requirements.
• Evaluate supplier performance (cost, quality, on-time delivery) and drive improvement actions based on lessons learned.
• Manage project- and site-level procurement budgets in line with approved standards; track and analyze market/cost data and provide updates to leadership.
• Partner with field teams to forecast site-level material/parts needs and support inventory and warehouse coordination.
• Establish and continuously improve procurement SOPs and governance across O&M and SI.
• Coordinate with Legal to ensure vendor/subcontractor agreements comply with internal policy and contractual obligations.
• Maintain accurate and complete purchasing records in accordance with record retention procedures.

• Review and organize the key content of Accounts Receivable (customer billing, Non-Covered Services, SI project invoicing) and Accounts Payable (vendor/subcontractor payables) ahead of formal bookkeeping by the Finance team.
• Build, maintain, and continuously update a management-level AR/AP dashboard for executive reporting (aging, exceptions, unbilled/uncollected items).
• Partner with field teams to validate the underlying data behind AR/AP entries (e.g., Work Order status, billing basis) and resolve discrepancies.
• Serve as the liaison between Business Operations and Finance to ensure a smooth, accurate handoff for formal bookkeeping.
• Flag AR/AP items with cash‑flow impact (overdue receivables, unbilled work, disputed invoices) and elevate to management as needed.
• Prepare periodic AR/AP summaries and presentations for U.S. and Korea HQ leadership.
