Senior Supplier Risk, Resilience & Mapping Manager

About the role

The Senior Supplier Risk, Resilience & Mapping Manager designs, executes and continuously improves GSA's global supplier risk and resilience capability. Reporting to the Director of Procurement Policy, Governance, Risk & Sustainability, the role gives an integrated view of supply continuity risk across the supplier network and turns that insight into prevention, mitigation, business continuity and crisis-readiness actions. A core accountability is leading supply-chain mapping and analysis beyond Tier 1.

Key responsibilities

• Own and maintain the global procurement and supplier risk framework, including risk taxonomy, assessment methodology, segmentation, thresholds, escalation protocols, governance cadence and key risk indicators, and keep executive visibility of material risks through registers, dashboards and trend analysis.
• Lead the enterprise approach to risk-based supply-chain mapping and analysis across priority products, components, materials, supplier sites and upstream tiers, integrating BOM, supplier, site, category, spend, quality and external-risk data to find hidden dependencies.
• Analyse mapping outputs to quantify geographic concentrations, single-source and shared sub-tier exposure and other systemic vulnerabilities, and turn them into prioritized sourcing, inventory, qualification, BCP and executive decisions.
• Develop a phased investment roadmap for mapping and analysis capabilities, including technology, data-platform, internal resource and third-party costs.
• Translate risk insight into resilience actions such as alternate-source qualification, dual sourcing, inventory or safety-stock strategies, capacity actions, supplier development, logistics alternatives and business continuity requirements.
• Own the supplier continuity and BCP framework, including critical-supplier expectations, review standards, evidence requirements, testing approach and remediation of material gaps.
• Develop scenario analysis and stress-testing for geopolitical events, supplier/site outages, logistics constraints, critical-material shortages and concentration failures, and partner with Category Management, Operations, Quality, Engineering and Planning on response playbooks and decision triggers.
• Establish a supplier monitoring model using internal data and approved external intelligence, define alert thresholds and escalation routes, develop KRIs and leading indicators, and evaluate the technology needed for monitoring, mapping and scenario modelling.
• Act as the senior GSA lead for supplier disruption risk assessment, support crisis mobilization, provide rapid fact-finding during disruptions, capture lessons learned and ensure clear handoffs to operational incident response and enterprise crisis management.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, procurement, engineering, business, risk or a related discipline (desirable).
• Post-graduate qualifications or professional certifications in supply chain, procurement, risk, business continuity or resilience (desirable).
• Significant experience in procurement, supply chain, supplier risk, operations, planning, quality or resilience roles within a complex global manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated experience designing or operating supplier-risk frameworks, risk registers, mitigation programmes and executive reporting.
• Practical experience with supply-chain mapping, multi-tier supplier visibility, BOM/material dependency analysis, geographic or supplier concentration analysis, or equivalent network-risk methods.
• Experience developing business continuity, disruption-response or resilience programmes and working through material supplier or supply-chain incidents.
• Experience using supplier-risk data, monitoring platforms, analytics or external intelligence to support risk decisions; regulated or quality-driven industry experience is highly regarded.

Required skills

• Strong understanding of end-to-end supply chains, supplier risk, continuity planning and resilience levers.
• Advanced analytical capability to connect supplier, site, part/material and external-risk data into clear business exposure and action.
• Structured problem-solving and scenario-thinking, with strong judgement under time pressure.
• Ability to communicate complex risk clearly to senior leaders and mobilize cross-functional action without direct authority.
