Introduction to the job

Are you challenged by managing strategic suppliers with regard to supply chain management, capacity planning and cycle time reduction towards competitive Supply Chain performance?

Driving supplier development in these areas ensures ASML's supply base keeps pace with technological developments and can adapt to changing market conditions. The role also converts complex supply chain data into actionable insights, challenges assumptions through structured critical thinking, and leverages digital and AI-enabled tools to improve decision quality, scenario planning, and execution speed.
