OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world's critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.
The Position
OPSWAT is a global leader in critical infrastructure protection — trusted by governments, defense agencies, and enterprise organizations across the world. We build technology that keeps the world's most sensitive environments secure. Our Singapore office is a strategic hub for our APAC and global operations, and this role sits at the center of that growth.
We are open to candidates who will be based on-site in Singapore, Tampa or Veszprém.
As our hardware business grows, we need a single global supply chain capability that serves customers across AMER, EMEA, and APAC.
We are building, not inheriting. This is an executive Global Head role for a strategic leader who can set the vision for a world-class supply chain, build the organization to deliver it, and stay close enough to operations to make sure it runs with precision across regions. You will be the single global owner of OPSWAT's supply chain: strategy, sourcing and manufacturing, quality, fulfillment, trade compliance, supply chain security, and organizational leadership. If you thrive in environments where you set the direction, build the team, and are accountable for the results, this is your role.
If you're interested in working as Global Head of Supply Chain at OPSWAT, please apply, and we will get in touch!
You Will Have the Opportunity to
- Set Global Supply Chain Strategy and Vision
- Own and define OPSWAT's multi-year global supply chain strategy, aligned with the company's hardware roadmap, growth targets, and go-to-market priorities across AMER, EMEA, and APAC.
- Design one global operating model, from sourcing and manufacturing through delivery and post-sales logistics, including regional fulfillment footprint and make/buy/partner decisions.
- Serve as the executive voice of supply chain to the leadership team, presenting strategy, performance, risks, and investment cases.
- Sourcing, Manufacturing, and Strategic Supplier Management
- Lead global sourcing strategy and own relationships with contract manufacturers, ODMs, component suppliers, carriers, and logistics partners.
- Negotiate strategic supply agreements, pricing, and terms; drive COGS reduction and supplier performance through structured business reviews and scorecards.
- Build a resilient supplier base through dual-sourcing, lifecycle and end-of-life management, and mitigation of component shortages.
- Supply Chain Security, Risk, and Resilience
- Establish a secure, trusted hardware supply chain covering component provenance, traceability, anti-counterfeit controls, and tamper-evident processes, in line with OPSWAT's mission and its government and defense customers' requirements.
- Build a global supply chain risk management framework addressing geopolitical, tariff, logistics, and supplier concentration risks, with business continuity plans for each.
- Quality Standards and Governance
- Set and own global QA/QC standards across hardware assembly, imaging, testing, and packaging at every site.
- Ensure every unit shipped meets OPSWAT's functional, security, and branding standards, no exceptions, and drive the relevant quality and regulatory certifications.
- Planning, Inventory, and Financial Ownership
- Establish and lead a global Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process with Sales, Product Management, and Finance, driving forecast accuracy and supply alignment.
- Own the global supply chain budget, inventory strategy, landed cost, and working capital targets.
- Global Trade Compliance, Logistics, and Customs
- Own global trade compliance, including US EAR, APAC export control regimes, sanctions screening, import/customs, tariff classification, and country-of-origin requirements for government and public sector sales.
- Oversee end-to-end global logistics, warehousing, and fulfillment to ensure on-time delivery at optimal cost, with strong governance over freight forwarders, customs brokers, and 3PL partners.
- Cross-Functional Leadership
- Partner with Product Management and Engineering on new product introduction, design for manufacturability, and BOM cost optimization.
- Work alongside Creative and GTM teams to ensure packaging and branding deliver a premium customer experience.
- Partner with Finance, Legal, and Sales Operations on planning, contracts, compliance, and customer commitments.
- Systems, Metrics, and Continuous Improvement
- Lead the roadmap for supply chain systems and tooling (NetSuite ERP, planning, supplier and warehouse management) so the operation can scale.
- Define global KPIs across procurement, manufacturing, quality, fulfillment, and cost, and drive a culture of data-driven continuous improvement.
- Global Organizational Leadership
- Build, lead, and develop a multi-region supply chain organization, including regional leaders and a core team in Singapore.
- Set the organizational design, succession plans, and talent strategy for the function, building a culture rooted in ownership, precision, and pride in work.
What We Are Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field; MBA preferred.
- 15+ years of supply chain experience in hardware or technology, including 7+ years in senior leadership roles with global scope.
- A track record of building and scaling a global supply chain function, not just running one, ideally in a high-growth company.
- Experience leading multi-region organizations and managing leaders, teams, and sites in different countries.
- Deep expertise in strategic sourcing, contract manufacturer/ODM management, and complex supplier negotiations.
- Strong command of international export regulations (including US EAR and APAC regimes), trade compliance, and hardware-specific controls; familiarity with government procurement requirements (e.g., TAA, NDAA) is a strong plus.
- Experience building supply chain security and risk management programs; knowledge of frameworks such as NIST SP 800-161 is an advantage.
- Proven experience leading S&OP, inventory strategy, and supply chain financial management.

- Solid understanding of hardware QA/QC: assembly, imaging, testing, and packaging.
- Executive presence and strong communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership and partners across cultures.

Tips for Your Global Supply Chain Specialist Job Search
Quantify your supply chain impact
Hiring managers for these roles want numbers, not just duties. Rewrite each resume bullet to show what you improved: lead times reduced, inventory costs cut, supplier on-time delivery rates lifted. Vague action verbs without outcomes won't clear most applicant tracking systems.
List your systems and certifications clearly
ERP platforms like SAP and Oracle, TMS tools, and certifications like APICS CSCP or CPIM belong in a dedicated skills section, not buried in job descriptions. Recruiters filter by these terms, so surface them where they're easy to scan.
Target postings by commodity or category
Global supply chain specialist roles vary widely by industry vertical. A posting in aerospace sourcing demands different depth than one in direct-to-consumer retail. Filter your search by the category you know best so your resume reads as a direct match, not a generalist application.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists global supply chain specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for case-style interview questions
Expect scenario questions about supplier disruptions, dual-sourcing decisions, or inventory policy changes under demand uncertainty. Practice walking through your reasoning out loud, referencing real situations from your experience. Generic answers about teamwork won't differentiate you at the final-round stage.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base pay
Global supply chain roles often include relocation allowances, performance bonuses tied to cost-savings targets, and remote flexibility. Know which levers matter most to you before the offer call so you can respond confidently rather than asking for time to think.
Global Supply Chain Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most global supply chain specialists?
The companies hiring the most global supply chain specialists right now include Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Meta, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Manufacturing, retail, and consumer goods companies consistently account for the largest share of postings.
How many global supply chain specialist jobs are remote?
About 61% of global supply chain specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies by function. Demand planning, procurement analysis, and supplier performance reporting roles tend to offer more remote flexibility than logistics coordination and customs compliance roles, which often require on-site or regional presence.
How do you become a global supply chain specialist?
Start with a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, or industrial engineering. Build hands-on experience in a related function like procurement, logistics coordination, or inventory management. Earn an APICS certification such as the CSCP or CPIM to signal depth of knowledge. Progress by taking on cross-functional projects with international supplier or customer exposure, which is what most employers mean by global scope.
How do you get hired as a global supply chain specialist with little experience?
Focus on roles titled supply chain coordinator or logistics analyst, which share the same core skill set and serve as the standard entry point. Highlight any coursework, internships, or project work involving sourcing, inventory, or demand forecasting. Earning an entry-level APICS certification before applying signals seriousness to employers who might otherwise filter you out on experience alone.
What does the global supply chain specialist interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four stages: an initial recruiter screen focused on background and logistics experience, a hiring manager conversation covering your functional expertise and past projects, and one or two rounds with cross-functional stakeholders or case-based assessments. Expect scenario questions on supplier disruptions, cost reduction decisions, or inventory trade-offs. Some employers add a take-home data exercise before the final round.
Where can I find and apply to global supply chain specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to global supply chain specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your specialization and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
