EVP – Supply Chain — Packaging And Test Network

The mandate

The chair and executive committee are aligned that the immediate priority is exposure to concentrated suppliers and unstable lead times within a listed fabless, foundry or semiconductor-systems enterprise. The immediate arena is the packaging and test network during a product-roadmap transition. For mandate 529, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The EVP – Supply Chain operating perimeter covers approximately ₩7,000 billion in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, with activity spanning several packaging and test network customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The EVP – Supply Chain Semiconductor remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,250 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors want a EVP – Supply Chain who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the packaging and test network. The EVP – Supply Chain Semiconductor seat must resolve a product-roadmap transition, while preserving the underlying strengths of the packaging and test network. For mandate 529, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The EVP – Supply Chain’s first year on the packaging and test network is expected to end with supply assurance, inventory productivity and dual-source readiness. In mandate 529, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a newly created EVP – Supply Chain — Packaging And Test Network seat, established because a product-roadmap transition now requires one accountable executive rather than distributed ownership. The board has classified the appointment as urgent and intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 6–8 weeks. Interim governance protects the packaging and test network, but it is not a substitute for a permanent appointee. The external search remains confidential to avoid unnecessary disruption before the appointment is agreed.

What you will own

• Set the EVP – Supply Chain value-creation thesis for the packaging and test network, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately ₩7,000 billion in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the EVP – Supply Chain Semiconductor organisation of about 1,250 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the packaging and test network economics and execution constraints created by a product-roadmap transition, with EVP – Supply Chain-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one EVP – Supply Chain operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the packaging and test network; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Demonstrate enterprise authority across functions and markets, with outcomes visible in cash, customers or controlled risk in mandate 529.
• Build the EVP – Supply Chain’s three-year succession and capability plan for the packaging and test network, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Semiconductor organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the packaging and test network baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to exposure to concentrated suppliers and unstable lead times, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal EVP – Supply Chain portfolio and organisation choices for the packaging and test network, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
• Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable packaging and test network trend against supply assurance, inventory productivity and dual-source readiness, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

• Delivery of the EVP – Supply Chain’s agreed first-year packaging and test network value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A EVP – Supply Chain forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the packaging and test network’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the EVP – Supply Chain mandate’s highest-priority packaging and test network risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical packaging and test network talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the EVP – Supply Chain’s direct reports.
• A quantified EVP – Supply Chain-owned improvement in the packaging and test network operating constraint behind a product-roadmap transition, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 529: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a EVP Supply Chain, Chief Procurement Officer or Operations Leader in a listed Semiconductor or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the packaging and test network, your EVP – Supply Chain track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from semiconductors, electronics, embedded systems, advanced manufacturing or engineering services will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this EVP – Supply Chain brief.

As a EVP – Supply Chain candidate, you bring 18–22 years of progressive Semiconductor or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 18-22 experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of ₩4,050 billion and led an organisation of at least 875 people.

For mandate 529, the board wants two transitions: a difficult packaging and test network portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a product-roadmap transition. As the prospective EVP – Supply Chain for this packaging and test network, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 529 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The EVP – Supply Chain must be based in Seoul; international relocation is supported, but this Semiconductor role is not designed as a remote appointment.

Non-negotiables

• Current or recent accountability at the level of EVP Supply Chain, Chief Procurement Officer or Operations Leader, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Semiconductor governance forum.
• Proven EVP – Supply Chain ownership of at least ₩4,050 billion and leadership of no fewer than 875 employees in a comparable packaging and test network context.
• One completed Semiconductor or adjacent-sector example of exposure to concentrated suppliers and unstable lead times with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from semiconductors, electronics, embedded systems, advanced manufacturing or engineering services; experience that is purely functional and lacks EVP – Supply Chain-level packaging and test network consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Seoul location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 529.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated EVP – Supply Chain package is ₩420–560 million base + annual incentive, calibrated to the final packaging and test network scope and the candidate’s current mix. Any long-term participation for mandate 529 follows standard vesting and performance conditions. The EVP – Supply Chain appointment in Seoul, centred on the packaging and test network, offers regular exposure to the chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors. A notice period of up to 6 months can be accommodated for the selected executive in mandate 529.
