RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Own the global tracking, governance, and financial visibility of NPI capital equipment, tooling, and AR / capital-request activity from initial requirement through approval, purchase, delivery, installation, qualification, and production readiness.
o Maintain a single global tracker by program, site, equipment type, supplier, quantity, budget, request status, approval status, PO status, committed delivery, actual delivery, and operational readiness date.
o Link each capital request to approved program demand, manufacturing capacity, technical requirement, and required production date to ensure investments are justified and prioritized correctly.
o Coordinate with Global NPI, Industrial Engineering, Automation, Finance, Purchasing, Program Management, and manufacturing sites to reconcile requirements, ownership, timing, and cost.
o Provide leadership with clear visibility of budget exposure, unapproved requirements, late equipment, supplier risk, and actions that could affect NPI or production ramp.
• CapEx / AR Governance - Coordinate the end-to-end capital-request process, including request preparation, supporting data, business justification, approval routing, change control, and status follow-up. Ensure requests contain consistent technical, financial, and timing information.
• Equipment Requirement Reconciliation - Compare equipment demand against existing global inventory, committed purchases, available capacity, and redeployment opportunities before recommending incremental investment.
• Supplier & Delivery Tracking - Track supplier design, build, FAT, shipment, customs, installation, debug, qualification, and ramp milestones. Measure committed versus forecast versus actual dates and identify schedule deviation early.
• Budget & Forecast Control - Maintain approved budget, commitments, actual spend, forecast-to-complete, and variance visibility. Partner with Finance and Purchasing to resolve mismatches between program plans, POs, invoices, and capital forecasts.
• Asset / Equipment Visibility - Maintain equipment-level information including location, status, program assignment, ownership, utilization, readiness, and potential redeployment to improve global use of existing assets.
• Risk & Escalation - Maintain a consolidated risk and action register for missing approvals, long-lead purchases, supplier constraints, installation conflicts, technical changes, and qualification delays; escalate with quantified impact and recovery options.
• Management Dashboards - Develop standardized dashboards for CapEx by program/site, approval aging, equipment readiness, supplier delivery performance, budget versus actual, and capital at risk.
• Process Standardization - Create common templates, definitions, readiness milestones, supplier reporting formats, and data requirements so all sites manage NPI capital with one global process and comparable data.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, Business Analytics, or a related discipline.
• 3+ years of experience supporting manufacturing CapEx, equipment procurement, program finance, asset tracking, supply chain, or operations analytics.
• Demonstrated ability to manage large data sets, financial/status trackers, purchase-order information, supplier schedules, and cross-functional action lists with high accuracy.
• Working knowledge of capital equipment life cycle from requirement and approval through PO, supplier build, shipment, installation, qualification, and production release is preferred.
• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills are required; experience with Power BI, ERP/MRP, procurement systems, SharePoint, or project-tracking platforms is preferred.
• Ability to understand basic manufacturing capacity and equipment-utilization logic and connect investment needs to program demand and readiness dates.
• Strong communication, follow-through, and escalation skills with the ability to coordinate Finance, Purchasing, Engineering, Operations, and suppliers across global sites.
• Demonstrated ownership, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple high-priority requests and deadlines.
• Travel - Approximately 10-20% domestic and international travel.
