About the role

Build and lead NVIDIA's global Inventory Control function from the ground up, establishing policy, controls, and audit standards across the supply value chain while overseeing a transition to buy/sell and strategic supply arrangements.

Responsibilities

  • Build the team and the function. Hire and develop a team of five inventory control specialists spanning Factory, Fulfillment, Logistics, OSAT, and Service categories. Establish the continuous control monitoring system they manage. Extend influence across regional and site practitioners in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC — setting standards centrally while regions implement them.
  • Own inventory assurance for the global supply chain. Lead controls and reconciliation to provide Finance with reliable inventory balances, aging, and variance evidence for valuation, reserves, write-off treatment, and quarter-end close. Core control is weekly book-to-book reconciliation across SAP, supplier ERP, and physical inventory.
  • Run SOX 404 compliance for the inventory cycle end to end. Host external auditor walk-throughs, present to the Audit Committee, and maintain preparer/reviewer separation. Own cycle count adjustment reporting and balance perpetual cycle counts against wall-to-wall physical inventories.
  • Architect the control framework for the buy/sell transition. Design controls that hold as inventory ownership models shift, scalable from OSAT die operations through rack-scale system integration across forward and reverse logistics.
  • Manage the continuous control assessment system. Include anomaly and perfect-match detection during regular reconciliation, in-transit aging limits, off-SAP and non-valued-location governance, SAP storage-location mapping accuracy, quarterly access certification, and lead variance investigations with root-cause resolution.
  • Lead organizational change at global scale. Convert tribal, single-point-of-failure expertise into documented, ISO-aligned, certification-backed processes across contract manufacturers and supplier network.

Qualifications

  • Senior leadership experience in operations finance or inventory control within international high-tech or semiconductor settings, with multi-tier BOMs across silicon, packaging, board, system, and rack-scale hardware
  • 12+ years of progressive experience including inventory accounting ownership, standard cost, variance analysis, reserve methodology, aging governance, write-offs, and financial controls behind a manufacturing P&L
  • End-to-end SOX 404 program ownership with design/testing, auditor walkthroughs, Audit Committee remediation, and evidentiary separation
  • Hands-on SAP fluency across MM, WM, IM, and CO/FI; cycle counting, book-to-book reconciliation, adjustment posting, inventory valuation, MB51, MB52, LI20/LI21, LX26, SLOC-level reporting; capable of guiding an auditor unaided
  • Experience managing variance investigations involving in-transit aging, book-to-book discrepancies, SLOC mapping, non-valued-location drift, and NPI/RMA plant misconfigurations
  • Ability to define standards centrally and influence distributed regional teams, contract manufacturers, OSAT partners, 3PL warehouses, and forward-stocking locations; comfortable as owner in external/Internal Audit and Audit Committee forums
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, or Operations, or 8+ years demonstrated equivalent experience with management
