On-siteManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About EH Group Engineering" and description. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: About the role? There's a paragraph describing the role: "We are seeking a Director of Supply Chain to run sourcing, planning and materials across both production streams." Also "Key Responsibilities". So we can have sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Skills And Experience Required (maybe combine Skills and Experience). Could also have Qualifications? The posting includes "Skills And Experience Required" and "Desirable". Could treat as Requirements. Also "What we offer" includes Competitive compensation and meaningful equity, relocation support, opportunity. That's Benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule specifics, so we should not create those sections. Also we have location info etc but not needed as heading. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, only candidates selected... etc. We must preserve all substantive information. So include details about role, responsibilities, skills/experience required, desirable, benefits. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list maybe split into Required and Desirable?), Benefits (list). Could also have Qualifications but not needed. Let's extract content: About EH Group Engineering: description of company, mission, etc. Could be part of About the role? Might be separate "About the company". But instructions only list example headings; we can use any heading that matches content. Could use "About the company" but not in list. Safer to use "About the role" for role description and maybe include company info there. Let's craft:

    About the role

    Full-time, onsite position in Houston, Texas, with a global scope leading team members in Nyon, Switzerland. Reports to the VP, Manufacturing, Quality and Supply Chain. Frequent travel to Nyon and to supplier sites in Europe, the US and Asia. The role is to build and run a single global supply base for fuel cell components and balance of plant, serving both production streams and multiple manufacturing sites.

    Then Responsibilities:

    Responsibilities

    • Build and run a single global supply base for fuel cell components and balance of plant, serving both production streams and multiple manufacturing sites
    • Consolidate the global supplier base in the first year, and qualify and dual-source critical and long-lead materials across geographies so that neither site depends on a single point of failure
    • Negotiate global supply agreements structured for scale: pricing curves, capacity commitments and terms that hold across both entities as volumes grow by an order of magnitude
    • Develop the US supplier base in support of American-made designations, including domestic content analysis, tariff strategy, and import and export compliance between the Swiss and US entities
    • Stand up planning, materials management and inventory control in Houston and strengthen them in Nyon: demand and production planning, MRP, warehouse and receiving, and allocation of constrained materials between sites
    • Manage consigned inventory held at contract manufacturing and assembly partners
    • Own intercompany material flows between Switzerland and the US, including customs, documentation, and working with Finance on the transfer pricing of stacks, subassemblies and systems
    • Own supply chain processes within the ERP implementation: a common item master, part numbering convention and multi-level bill of materials across both entities, plus subcontract and consignment processes
    • Manage logistics to customer sites worldwide, including the movement of containerized systems
    • Lead a distributed team, including direct reports in Nyon, placing each capability where it belongs rather than duplicating functions across sites
    Then Requirements (Skills And Experience Required):

    Requirements

    • Experience running supply chain across more than one manufacturing site, ideally in more than one country, with a track record of harmonizing rather than duplicating
    • Experience building or substantially scaling a supply chain function in a manufacturing business, ideally through a period of rapid volume growth
    • Strategic sourcing and supplier development for technical, engineered components, not commodity buying, including qualifying new suppliers from scratch
    • A strong commercial negotiation track record with global suppliers, including agreements structured around future volume rather than current spend
    • Practical command of cross-border material movement: customs, trade compliance and intercompany flows between legal entities
    • Working knowledge of planning and materials management in an ERP environment, with experience contributing to or leading a multi-entity implementation
    • Experience managing outsourced manufacturing or assembly relationships, including consigned inventory and supplier-held stock
    • Experience managing people remotely and across time zones, including direct reports on another continent, keeping a distributed team aligned without being in the room
    • Willing to travel frequently to Nyon, particularly in the first 12 months, and to supplier and partner sites in Europe, the US and Asia
    • Must have existing authorization to work in the United States
    Desirable could be part of Requirements or separate "Preferred Qualifications". Since we have a section for Qualifications maybe. But we can include as part of Requirements or separate "Preferred Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We already used Skills? We used Requirements. Could rename to Skills And Experience Required as heading? But they said use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have Skills section for the required skills, and Qualifications for desirable? Or combine. Let's do:

    Skills

    for required skills list.

    Qualifications

    for desirable. But we already used Requirements. Might be okay to have both Requirements and Qualifications. Let's follow: Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for desirable. Thus:

    Requirements

    (mandatory list)

    Qualifications

    (desirable list) Then Benefits:

    Benefits

    • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity, calibrated to the market and discussed directly with you
    • Relocation support to Houston, Texas
    • The opportunity to build EHG's global supply chain during a defining phase of hyper-growth
    We should not include Pay or Schedule sections as no specifics. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, only candidates selected..., etc. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: we included company description? We included some in About the role paragraph but maybe we missed some details about EHG mission etc. Let's incorporate that into About the role or maybe a separate "About the company" but not needed. The instructions: preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include the description of EHG: "We are challenging the energy sector with our innovative fuel cell technology to decarbonize power generation. Are you the right person to join our dynamic and growing team? About EH Group Engineering EHG is developing cutting-edge fuel cell technology for heavy duty mobility and large-scale stationary power applications. Our uniquely redesigned product is a significantly more compact fuel cell with high power density and lower costs of production. Faced with the challenges of climate change and the transition to a decentralized energy system, EHG seeks to provide high performance and cost-effective fuel cell solutions to our clients and partners. Founded in Switzerland, EHG is now expanding into the United States, driven by fast-growing demand for onsite power for AI data centers, defense and industry, and supported by a soon-to-be-announced major investment round. We are establishing US manufacturing in Houston, Texas, alongside our established MW-scale facility in Nyon." We should include that. Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "About the company". Since we have no heading for that, we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. Let's craft About the role paragraph to include both role and company description. Prose: "Full-time, onsite position in Houston, Texas, with a global scope leading team members in Nyon, Switzerland. Reports to the VP, Manufacturing, Quality and Supply Chain. Frequent travel to Nyon and to supplier sites in Europe, the US and Asia. We are challenging the energy sector with our innovative fuel cell technology to decarbonize power generation.

We are seeking a Director of Supply Chain to run sourcing, planning and materials across both production streams." That covers. Now ensure we didn't miss any responsibilities: we captured all bullet points from "Key Responsibilities". Let's verify: - Build and run a single global supply base for fuel cell components and balance of plant, serving both production streams and multiple manufacturing sites - Consolidate the global supplier base in the first year, and qualify and dual-source critical and long-lead materials across geographies so that neither site depends on a single point of failure - Negotiate global supply agreements structured for scale: pricing curves, capacity commitments and terms that hold across both entities as volumes grow by an order of magnitude - Develop the US supplier base in support of American-made designations, including domestic content analysis, tariff strategy, and import and export compliance between the Swiss and US entities - Stand up planning, materials management and inventory control in Houston and strengthen them in Nyon: demand and production planning, MRP, warehouse and receiving, and allocation of constrained materials between sites - Manage consigned inventory held at contract manufacturing and assembly partners - Own intercompany material flows between Switzerland and the US, including customs, documentation, and working with Finance on the transfer pricing of stacks, subassemblies and systems - Own supply chain processes within the ERP implementation: a common item master, part numbering convention and multi-level bill of materials across both entities, plus subcontract and consignment processes - Manage logistics to customer sites worldwide, including the movement of containerized systems - Lead a distributed team, including direct reports in Nyon, placing each capability where it belongs rather than duplicating functions across sites All present. Now Requirements list: we captured all bullet points from "Skills And Experience Required". Let's verify: - Experience running supply chain across more than one manufacturing site, ideally in more than one country, with a track record of harmonizing rather than duplicating - Experience building or substantially scaling a supply chain function in a manufacturing business, ideally through a period of rapid volume growth - Strategic sourcing and supplier development for technical, engineered components, not commodity buying, including qualifying new suppliers from scratch - A strong commercial negotiation track record with global suppliers, including agreements structured around future volume rather than current spend - Practical command of cross-border material movement: customs, trade compliance and intercompany flows between legal entities - Working knowledge of planning and materials management in an ERP environment, with experience contributing to or leading a multi-entity implementation - Experience managing outsourced manufacturing or assembly relationships, including consigned inventory and supplier-held stock - Experience managing people remotely and across time zones, including direct reports on another continent, keeping a distributed team aligned without being in the room - Willing to travel frequently to Nyon,
