Director, Supply Chain Network – Strategic Planning

As a senior strategic leader in ResMed's Supply Chain Planning organization, the Director of Supply Chain Network – Strategic Planning anchors the vision and execution of our global network master plan. This role is central to realizing our multi-year supply chain planning ambition: to build a scalable, demand-responsive, digitally enabled, and risk-resilient end-to-end network that consistently delivers world-class customer availability, uncompromising quality, and competitive value.

This leader oversees the orchestration of the global network design and planning flow-path strategy—ensuring that long-term structural decisions seamlessly translate into executable, efficient, and reliable operating models across all nodes. The role demands exceptional cross-functional influence, deep systems thinking, and the ability to turn complex trade-offs into compelling, data-driven strategic recommendations.

Network Master Planning & Strategic Orchestration

• Lead and orchestrate the global supply chain network master plan, including manufacturing footprint, DC locations, flow-path design, make-vs-buy strategies, transportation lanes, and capacity frameworks.

• Partner with Network Engineering, Manufacturing, Logistics, Procurement, and Commercial teams to align on network scenarios, capacity strategies, and end-to-end implications.

• Build and evaluate multi-scenario network strategies that optimize resilience, cost-to-serve, and customer experience.

Operationalization of Network Strategy

• Operationalize approved network designs into clear plans, ensuring plants, DCs, transportation teams, and planning functions fully understand target flows, policies, and performance expectations.

• Lead cross-functional orchestration of network changes—new sites, regionalization efforts, lane shifts, closures—from concept through steady-state enablement.

• Act as the strategic conduit between long-term design and short/mid-term execution, resolving structural constraints that prevent the network from operating as designed.

Network Governance, Capability Building & Executive Influence

• Develop and maintain a multi-year planning and capacity master plan with full alignment from global manufacturing and distribution leaders.

• Co-create the 5–10-year scalability plan that supports aggressive growth targets while reducing structural risk through diversification, redundancy, and capacity flexibility.

• Serve as a strategic advisor to senior leaders across Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, and Distribution & Logistics.

• Co-create and govern the Network Playbook—comprising decision frameworks, policy guardrails, network maps, and standard flow-path assumptions.

• Present network strategies, trade-offs, and investment recommendations to executive leadership and the Supply Chain Planning leadership team.

• Exceptional collaboration and influence across complex global organizations.

• Ability to simplify systemic complexity into clear strategic direction.

• Executive-level storytelling and decision-framing.

• Comfort operating fluidly between high-level strategy and tactical detail to ensure executional excellence.

• End-to-end systems thinker who anticipates interdependencies, risks, and cascading impacts across the value chain.

Leadership Behaviours

• Shapes and champions a forward-looking supply chain vision anchored in resilience, scalability, and digital enablement.

• Builds high-performing cross-functional coalitions that thrive in ambiguity and complexity.

• Drives accountability for network performance through clarity, governance, and alignment.

• Models change leadership and inspires confidence through structured, transparent, and decisive communication.

• Ability to lead and coach experts

Key Priorities in the first 12-24 months

• Delivery of a fully aligned multi-year network master plan endorsed by Supply Chain, Commercial, and Operations leadership.

• Operationalize major network transitions (e.g., new sites, closures, lane shifts) to assess feasibility and execution of all transitions and trade-offs required

• Increased cross-functional engagement and adherence to the Network Playbook

• Demonstrated improvements availability, value & quality.

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, or Business; Master's/MBA preferred.

• 12–15+ years of broad supply chain experience: planning, transformation, network design, logistics, or multi-node orchestration.

• Proven success influencing large cross-functional teams without direct authority.

• Deep understanding of end-to-end supply chain flows, constraints, and global manufacturing & distribution dynamics.

• Experience with complex, global, multi-node networks in high-growth or regulated industries.

• Strong analytical skills and expertise in supply chain design tools (APS systems, LLamasoft/Supply Chain Guru, Coupa, etc.).

• Demonstrated change leadership across multi-year programs.

• Strong program leadership of multi-year, cross-functional initiatives.
