Supply Chain Director (Johor)

Supply Chain Director | Manufacturing Operations | Johor

Are you a supply chain leader ready to step into a high-impact role at the heart of a globally connected manufacturing operation? Our client, a precision-focused manufacturer based in Johor, is seeking an experienced Supply Chain Director to take ownership of their end-to-end supply chain function - with scope to expand across the full operational landscape.

Why Apply?

This is more than a supply chain role. You will lead procurement, planning, warehousing and shipping at a senior level, then progressively extend your remit across quality, maintenance, facilities and beyond. With real executive visibility, a mandate to drive lean transformation, and the opportunity to shape a high-performing team, this is a role for a leader who wants meaningful influence and measurable impact.

The Role

Here is what you will be driving:

• Oversee end-to-end supply chain operations - spanning procurement, material planning, warehousing and shipping - with a broader remit across the full operational function over time
• Lead the adoption of lean manufacturing principles, targeting continuous gains in productivity, efficiency and cost performance
• Monitor operational KPIs, production schedules and equipment performance to keep output on track
• Build, develop and succession-plan a capable, independent management team across all operational departments
• Propose and manage budgets covering capacity, headcount, maintenance and capital investment
• Uphold compliance with quality frameworks, health and safety standards, and relevant certifications (ISO/IATF/RBA)
• Represent the operation at the highest level, stepping in as acting site lead when required

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

• A degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing Technology or a related field
• A minimum of 7 years' Supply Chain management experience within a manufacturing environment
• Strong, hands-on expertise across supply chain disciplines - procurement, logistics, planning and warehousing
• Confident people leadership and communication skills across all levels
• Working knowledge of automotive core tools and industry certification standards
• A structured, commercially minded approach to driving change and delivering results

If you are ready to lead with purpose and grow with a world-class operation, we would love to hear from you. Apply now to take the next step in your career.
