Nextracker Inc. is a provider of solar energy solutions that designs, supplies, and supports utility-scale solar projects from design through operations. The company delivers specialized solar tracking hardware, installation logistics, training, and ongoing operations support, and pairs field-proven equipment with data-driven “solar intelligence” to improve yield, speed deployments, and ensure reliable performance in challenging environments worldwide.

📋 Description

• Architect end-to-end supply chain processes (Plan / Source / Deliver and key interfaces), making cross-functional handoffs, decision points, and constraints explicit, and driving simplification and repeatability at scale. • Define and maintain global standards including process blueprints, standard work/SOPs, business rules, RACI/decision rights, escalation paths, and a pragmatic variation policy (what must be global, what can be configured, and what can vary locally) with clear rationale and governance. • Establish objectives and priorities with stakeholders based on data-based ROI determinations and business objectives. • Effectively facilitate problem identification, knowledge sharing and solutioning across complex stakeholder groups. • Lead solution implementation and/or identify resource needs to achieve objectives. • Design practical controls at critical points (e.g., promise/commit, allocation, master data touchpoints, quality holds, supplier escalation), specifying evidence expectations that are workable in real operations. • Lead systemic defect elimination, driving root-cause problem solving across process, data, system, and behavior, and reducing dependence on workarounds via a managed workaround registry with owner, risk, expiry, and exit plan. • Leverage analytics and AI tools to accelerate process mapping, root-cause analysis, and scenario design, multiplying the impact and speed of improvements. • Partner with Data Governance to define process data requirements, KPI definitions, and data quality expectations that enable one version of the truth for decision making. • Partner with IT to align process intent with system capabilities and to drive clear business rules and requirements (epics/stories, acceptance criteria) while minimizing unnecessary customization, especially on enterprise platforms (Oracle preferred). • Measure outcomes and drive follow-through by defining success criteria and KPIs for adoption/compliance and performance impact, monitoring leading indicators, and coordinating corrective actions when targets aren’t met. • Manage a team of 3-5 process engineers and analysts (potential future scope). • Drive a culture of continuous improvement.

🎯 Requirements

• 15+ years in supply chain process design, operations excellence, or operating model roles in a global enterprise, with demonstrated end-to-end scope beyond a single function. • Proven ability to build operating mechanisms (standards, decision rights, governance, controls, measures) that scale across regions and cross-functional teams. • Strong systems thinking and trade-off management skills: able to optimize locally within enterprise standards and variation rules and to articulate downstream impacts and constraints. • Experience working with enterprise platforms (Oracle preferred) and partnering with IT on process-to-system translation, including business rules, requirements, and acceptance criteria. • High data fluency: understanding of master data, transaction flows, disciplined KPI definition, and practical data quality controls in an operational context. • Executive-level influence and facilitation skills; able to align senior stakeholders without direct authority and coach teams toward consistent execution. • Excellent organizational and project management skills, with a track record of identifying and resolving risks, issues, and dependencies and delivering initiatives on-time and on-budget. • Experience leveraging AI, automation and desktop tools to increase individual productivity and as solution options.
