Supply Chain Manager

ASML US brings together some of the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography systems that enable the semiconductor industry to produce smaller, faster and more energy-efficient microchips.

As a Supply Chain Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring the availability, capacity and operational performance of critical suppliers supporting ASML's advanced technology systems. You will manage a portfolio of strategic suppliers and work across multiple tiers of the supply chain to identify constraints, reduce risk and build the capabilities required to support ASML's current and future business demand.

You will collaborate closely with Sourcing, Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning and supplier leadership to improve supplier performance, increase supply-chain flexibility, reduce cycle time and strengthen long-term supplier capability.

Within Strategic Sourcing & Procurement (SS&P), the Supply Chain Manager serves as the Logistics representative within the multidisciplinary Supplier Account Team and is accountable for driving the operational supply-chain performance and development of assigned suppliers.

This role requires both hands-on operational leadership and strategic thinking. You will be expected to identify emerging supply risks, lead complex demand and supply escalations, challenge supplier capabilities, and translate ASML's business requirements into sustainable supplier capacity, flexibility and operational-performance improvements.

As a Supply Chain Manager, you will independently manage complex supplier supply-chain challenges while working across ASML and supplier organizations to ensure reliable material availability and sustainable operational performance.

Supplier performance & operational excellence

• Own and drive the operational supply-chain performance of assigned suppliers and, where applicable, their n-tier supply chains.
• Monitor supplier delivery, cycle time, Move Rate, capacity and flexibility performance and lead improvement actions to close performance gaps.
• Assess supplier operational capabilities and identify structural constraints affecting material availability.
• Drive improvements in supplier manufacturing flow, planning, lead time and overall operational performance.
• Lead and participate in continuous-improvement initiatives using structured problem-solving, Lean and quality methodologies.

Capacity, demand & supply management

• Translate ASML business demand into supplier capacity, capability and flexibility requirements.
• Develop and maintain supplier capacity-growth and flexibility plans aligned with current and future business requirements.
• Identify potential demand/supply gaps and bottlenecks and drive mitigation before they impact ASML factories or customers.
• Assess supplier Move Rate capability and drive capability improvements required to meet ASML demand.

Supply-chain risk & escalation management

• Identify and manage supply-chain risks across multiple supplier tiers.
• Lead demand and supply-related escalations and establish clear containment, recovery and structural improvement plans.
• Drive cross-functional problem solving to determine root causes and ensure sustainable corrective actions.
• Provide clear communication of risks, recovery plans, dependencies and decision requirements to relevant stakeholders.

Supplier development & strategy

• Develop supplier supply-chain capabilities to improve resilience, responsiveness and scalability.
• Contribute supply-chain expertise to supplier sourcing strategies and business decisions.
• Partner with suppliers to establish sustainable improvements in capacity, lead time, delivery reliability and operational excellence.
• Support development of a more transparent, flexible and resilient multi-tier supply chain.

Cross-functional leadership

• Represent Logistics as a member of the Supplier Account Team.
• Lead cross-functional and cross-sector improvement initiatives involving Sourcing, Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning and suppliers.
• Build trusted relationships with supplier leadership and internal stakeholders across multiple organizational levels.
• Influence decisions and drive accountability without relying on direct organizational authority.
• Coach and support colleagues in supply-chain methodologies, problem solving and stakeholder management.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business or a related discipline. Engineering background is preferred.
• 4+ years of experience in supply chain, logistics, supplier management, manufacturing, operations, sourcing/procurement or a similarly complex operational environment.
• Demonstrated experience managing supplier operational performance in a high-tech or complex manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of supply-chain planning, capacity management, supplier performance and manufacturing operations.
• Experience developing supplier capacity, flexibility, lead-time or delivery-performance improvement plans.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex supplier or demand/supply escalations.
• Experience identifying and mitigating supply-chain risks, including risks beyond the direct supplier tier.
• Experience leading cross-functional improvement initiatives across multiple stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of ERP, supply-chain planning and data-analysis tools.
• Experience applying structured problem-solving and quality methodologies.
• Practical Lean Manufacturing, Lean Six Sigma or continuous-improvement experience strongly preferred.
• Project-management experience is a plus.

To thrive in this role, you will need to demonstrate:

• Strategic and analytical thinking: Ability to translate complex data, demand and operational conditions into clear risks, priorities and actions.
• Problem solving: Ability to distinguish immediate supply symptoms from underlying structural problems and drive sustainable corrective actions.
• Ownership and accountability: Proactively identifies risks and bottlenecks and drives issues through resolution.
• Influencing and negotiation: Able to challenge and influence suppliers and stakeholders across organizational levels.
• Stakeholder management: Builds effective relationships while maintaining clear expectations and accountability.
• Communication: Communicates complex supply-chain issues clearly, concisely and professionally, including with senior stakeholders.
