Director of Central Supply Planning

Job Overview

The Director of Central Supply Chain Planning leads the end‑to‑end planning function across Intel’s semiconductor manufacturing network. The role integrates wafer fabrication, advanced packaging, back‑end assembly/test, and finished‑good supply into a single aligned plan that optimizes supply, cycle time, and constrained capacity while balancing customer commitments.

• Own the integrated supply plan across wafer fab, bump, sort, wafer‑level assembly, and assembly test; align demand, supply, and inventory strategies to meet customer commit dates and revenue targets; drive trade‑off decisions across stages.
• Establish planning policies across the network and model capacity & constraint management to optimize constrained resources; quantify trade‑offs such as impacts of non‑value‑added WIP on bottleneck tools; prioritize high‑value products under constraint.
• Lead scenario analysis for capacity expansions, mix changes, and disruptions; partner closely with Fab Planning, Advanced Packaging Planning, Back‑End Planning, and Customer Order Management for cross‑stage orchestration.
• Define and manage end‑to‑end planning KPIs, including on‑time delivery, total cycle time, inventory turns/WIP levels, and overall system performance.
• Own design, deployment, and continuous improvement of planning processes within Blue Yonder; drive adoption of advanced capabilities such as constraint‑based planning, allocation and prioritization logic, scenario planning, and simulations; translate business rules into system parameters.
• Build and lead a high‑performing central planning team; define roles for end‑to‑end planners, scenario analysts, and system experts; develop talent with deep semiconductor and advanced planning expertise.

• Strong technical knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing, supply strategy, advanced planning solutions, foundry practices, factory operations, and planning best practices.
• Proven ability to interpret technical data and apply insights to supply chain solutions.
• Track record of building and leading effective teams in a global, cross‑functional environment.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and strategic decision‑making skills with ability to influence senior leadership and stakeholders.
• Self‑initiative, persistence, and ability to handle ambiguity while maintaining attention to detail and quality.

• Experience with semiconductor supply foundry chain best practices across multiple stages.
• Hands‑on experience with Blue Yonder supply chain management in a semiconductor manufacturing foundry environment.

• Works well in highly matrixed, cross‑organizational and cross‑functional teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong business sense and technical savvy.
• Willingness to manage complex tasks and deadline pressure while maintaining high attention to detail and quality.

• Bachelor’s or BS degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations, Business Management, or related field, or equivalent experience. Advanced degree preferred.
• 12+ years of supply chain experience with a bachelor’s degree, or 8+ years with a master’s, or 6+ years with a PhD.
