Our focus is on modernizing workflows through strategic integrations, scalable automation, and seamless data flows empowering smarter decisions, reliable reporting, and sustainable growth as OpenAI evolves. About the Role We are looking for a Supply Chain Transformation Architect to redesign and modernize our end‑to‑end supply chain operations supporting robotics, consumer hardware, and data center infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of process, systems, and data. Your primary focus will be transforming supply chain processes across planning, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and fulfillment—then enabling those processes with the right systems architecture, data foundation, and AI‑driven automation. You will help move the organization from manual, reactive operations to intelligent, data‑driven supply chain execution. Key Responsibilities Lead End‑to‑End Supply Chain Transformation Evaluate and redesign core supply chain processes across demand planning, supply planning, procurement, manufacturing operations, logistics, and fulfillment. Identify operational bottlenecks, fragmented workflows, and manual processes that limit scalability. Build standardized process frameworks and operating models that support rapid scaling of hardware programs. Drive Operational Excellence Implement structured supply chain practices such as S&OP / Integrated Business Planning, supply risk management, inventory optimization, supplier collaboration frameworks, and logistics visibility and execution models. Establish operational KPIs and governance to improve predictability, responsiveness, and resilience. Architect the Digital Supply Chain Translate redesigned processes into integrated system workflows across ERP, planning tools, manufacturing systems, and logistics platforms. Define how data flows across the supply chain to create a single operational source of truth. Build the foundation for a Supply Chain Control Tower with end‑to‑end visibility and exception management. Enable AI‑Driven Operations Identify opportunities where AI can reduce operational noise and decision latency. Work with data and engineering teams to embed AI insights directly into operational workflows. Stabilize and Streamline Operations Reduce reliance on manual spreadsheets and disconnected systems. Build scalable processes that enable predictable hardware supply chain execution. Create playbooks and automated workflows that allow operations teams to focus on exceptions rather than routine tasks. Location & Work Model This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. Ideal Candidate Profile 10+ years experience in supply chain operations, transformation, or supply chain technology roles. Deep experience in hardware supply chains (consumer electronics, robotics, infrastructure, or complex manufacturing). Proven ability to redesign supply chain processes and operating models, not just implement tools. Experience implementing or working with ERP and supply chain planning systems. Strong understanding of supply chain data, analytics, and operational KPIs. Ability to bridge operations, engineering, and data teams to drive real change. Experience introducing AI or advanced analytics into supply chain operations. Experience supporting robotics, electronics, semiconductor, or data center hardware supply chains. Experience building modern digital supply chain capabilities (control towers, planning transformation, data platforms).
