This role will encompass the oversight of a third-party vendor tasked with mapping the supply chain's supplier landscape and Meta-specific commodities (down to the Tier-N level). This includes managing Contracting Installed, Contractor Furnished and Installed (CFCI) products, facilitating the creation of a comprehensive database and visualization tools to comprehend geographic dependencies of all commodities. Additionally, the role will involve establishing a sustainable program for regular data updates, encompassing supplier financials, regulatory compliance, ESG/Net Zero/carbon emissions, and other critical risk factors. Regular communication with key internal stakeholders and cross-functional partners regarding identified risks will be essential to develop appropriate supplier strategies (e.g., identifying additional sources, buffer strategies, and supplier engagement/escalation).

These insights will influence sourcing category plans managed by Global Technology Sourcing (by category) or materials planning.


Upon identifying risks through the assessment process, conduct in-depth investigations on high-risk suppliers to gather detailed information regarding their practices, policies, and overall business operations.

Review and prioritize risk-based mitigation recommendations, collaborating with internal stakeholders (e.g., sourcing managers, inventory managers) on opportunities (e.g., alternative supplies, buffer strategies, third-party executive communication/escalation).

Present assessment findings to stakeholders and leaders across the organization to foster alignment on risk management strategies.

In partnership with Global Technology Sourcing, Capacity Planning Manufacturing Delivery, and key ISCE pillars, manage existing suppliers to mitigate risks.

Supplier Engagement:

Drive supplier interactions, either independently or with relevant stakeholders, to develop and execute a commercial roadmap (including location strategy, supply/demand strategy, buffer strategy, prioritization, etc.).

Identify and cultivate potential commercial models/supplier models that necessitate the development of requirements (RFx to award/contract).
