  • Lead regular customer meetings, status reviews, and business updates.
  • Track program milestones, action items, risks, and dependencies to ensure successful execution.
  • Partner closely with Sales, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, and Finance teams to drive customer initiatives.
  • Manage customer escalations and facilitate conflict resolution among stakeholders while maintaining positive relationships.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment to ensure customer requirements are communicated and executed effectively.
  • Monitor project health, identify potential risks, and implement mitigation plans.
  • Support business growth initiatives by identifying opportunities to strengthen customer partnerships and improve operational performance.
  • Prepare executive-level reports, presentations, and program updates for internal and external stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in Program Management, Customer Program Management, Business Operations, Account Management, or a related role.
  • Experience working within a CM, ODM, EMS, or JDM environment.
  • Strong customer-facing experience with the ability to build credibility and trust at all organizational levels.
  • Experience managing RFQs, customer communications, quotations, and business operations processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
  • Proven conflict management, negotiation, and stakeholder management capabilities.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel and PowerPoint.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting consumer electronics, data center, networking, cloud infrastructure, or technology manufacturing customers.
  • Experience managing complex global programs involving multiple functional teams.
  • PMP or related project management certification is a plus.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing, supply chain, and product lifecycle management processes.
  • Bilingual proficiency in Chinese and English highly preferred
