Job Summary:

AMETEK is seeking an experienced Supplier Quality Manager to provide divisional leadership for supplier quality across the Power Systems & Instruments Division. This role provides strategic oversight for supplier quality performance, execution discipline, and risk management supporting multiple Business Units and strategic suppliers.

The Supplier Quality Manager will develop and deploy a unified supplier quality framework, ensure disciplined execution of critical quality processes (including First Article Inspection – FAI), and drive transparency, accountability, and risk mitigation through data-driven governance. This is a divisional leadership role focused on oversight, alignment, and influence; not a plant level operational position.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead Divisional Supplier Quality Strategy

• Define and deploy a division wide supplier quality strategy aligned with corporate objectives
• Establish standardized supplier quality policies, expectations, metrics, and escalation processes across Business Units
• Ensure consistent application of supplier quality requirements and governance practices

Support Strategic Suppliers & Business Units

• Serve as a trusted advisor to Business Units on supplier quality risks, execution gaps, and systemic issues
• Provide divisional coordination for supplier quality initiatives impacting multiple Business Units
• Partner with sourcing teams to support supplier selection and strategic supply decisions from a quality and risk perspective

Govern FAI, Qualification & Execution

• Provide oversight and follow up for FAI, supplier qualification, and other critical supplier quality projects
• Track execution status, ownership, risks, and timelines across Business Units
• Drive escalation and corrective action for delayed or at risk quality deliverables
• Identify systemic execution or FAI issues and lead supplier  or division level corrective actions

Drive Supplier Performance, Risk & Compliance

• Define, monitor, and govern supplier quality performance using standardized, system based metrics
• Consolidate Business Unit data into divisional dashboards and performance reviews
• Identify underperforming or high risk suppliers and coordinate improvement or mitigation actions
• Ensure alignment with applicable quality standards, customer requirements, and regulatory expectations

Promote Continuous Improvement

• Share best practices and lessons learned across the division
• Drive alignment on supplier quality tools and methodologies (FAI, audits, corrective actions, risk assessment)
• Strengthen a proactive, prevention focused, and data driven supplier quality culture

How Success Is Measured:

• Supplier quality performance (PPM, escape rate, repeat defects)
• FAI and qualification execution (on time completion, first pass yield, aging)
• Corrective action effectiveness and recurrence rates
• Strategic supplier performance and audit outcomes
• Supplier related cost of poor quality (COPQ) and risk trends
• Timely and accurate divisional quality reporting

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Business, or related field
• 7+ years of experience in supplier quality, quality leadership, or supply chain management
• Experience supporting multiple Business Units or division level initiatives

Desired Qualifications:

• Strong knowledge of supplier governance, performance management, FAI, and qualification processes
• Proven ability to drive results through influence, data, and cross functional collaboration rather than direct authority
• Strong execution tracking and follow up discipline
• Data driven mindset with experience using KPIs and performance dashboards
• Executive level communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience managing strategic and/or global suppliers
• Ability to balance standardization with Business Unit flexibility
