Business Consultant - Consulting-Business Consulting

Consultant, Semiconductor Supply Chain

This role requires a detailed understanding of end-to-end semiconductor manufacturing from silicon start through wafer fabrication, assembly/test, packaging, and integration into downstream applications combined with the ability to drive process improvement initiatives in highly technical, capital-intensive environments. This individual will serve as a day-to-day advisor to client stakeholders, managing project teams to improve supply planning performance, operational resilience, and end-to-end supply chain visibility. The role requires both semiconductor domain knowledge and strong project leadership capability.

Qualifications

Experience operating in a consultative capacity, including structuring complex and ambiguous problems, supporting executive workshops, managing day-to-day client stakeholders, and delivering client-ready recommendations.

Prior consulting experience, with experience at a Big 4 or Tier 1 IT services consulting firm preferred.

Hands-on experience in semiconductor supply planning within wafer fabrication and/or assembly, test, and packaging environments.

Working understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes, including wafer fabrication flows and extended cycle times, yield management and capacity constraints, assembly/test operations and packaging dynamics, integration into OEM and end-market applications.

Experience contributing to process improvements in constrained-capacity, long lead-time semiconductor environments with measurable operational or financial impact.

Strong executive communication skills with the ability to engage engineering, operations, and senior stakeholders credibly.

Experience with ERP and advanced planning systems supporting semiconductor ecosystems (e.g., SAP IBP/APO, Oracle, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, OMP, or similar).

Experience managing cross-functional teams and concurrent workstreams.

Additional Requirements

Location: US

Work Model: Hybrid, with significant client-site presence as required

Travel: Willingness to travel up to 5060% based on client needs

Education: Bachelor's degree required (Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or related field preferred)

Responsibilities

Manage semiconductor supply chain process transformation workstreams from diagnostic through implementation.

Serve as a key point of contact for Director- and Manager-level stakeholders across operations, supply chain, and engineering functions.

Support and drive improvements across silicon start planning, wafer fabrication flow and cycle time optimization, assembly, test, and packaging operations, capacity modeling and constrained supply allocation, downstream product integration and customer fulfillment.

Design and implement supply planning processes in long cycle-time, yield-driven, and capacity-constrained environments.

Facilitate cross-functional workshops and support executive steering sessions, driving alignment across technical and business stakeholders.

Guide team members in developing actionable recommendations supported by data, scenario modeling, and financial impact analysis.

Assess and help optimize ERP and advanced planning system landscapes supporting semiconductor operations (e.g., SAP IBP/APO, Oracle, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, OMP, or similar).

Support business development, including contributing to proposals and building client relationships.

Coach and mentor consultants and analysts on engagement teams.
