Enterprise Strategy & Global Governance

  • Lead the enterprise‑wide strategy for high‑risk and critical mineral sourcing.
  • Define global governance frameworks for supplier qualification, risk assessment, and strategic inventory management.
  • Partner with executive leadership and regional supply chain teams to align mineral sourcing with business, sustainability, and risk mitigation goals.

High‑Risk Material Management & Diversification

  • Identify, assess, and manage all materials categorized as high risk due to supply concentration, geopolitical exposure, or limited global refining capacity.
  • Develop and execute strategies to diversify sourcing outside of China and other high‑risk regions, fostering alternative supply partnerships in Asia, North America, Europe, and allied countries.
  • Build resilient supply chains by engaging with new suppliers, refining facilities, and recyclers in stable jurisdictions.
  • Ensure compliance with ethical sourcing standards while reducing regional dependency risks.
  • Technical Expertise & Market Insight

  • Serve as Coherent’s subject‑matter expert on rare earth elements (e.g., terbium, yttrium) and critical minerals (e.g., tungsten, cobalt, lithium, indium, tantalum).
  • Evaluate refining processes, purity standards, and material specifications relevant to Coherent’s product portfolio.
  • Monitor global market trends, pricing, and government initiatives impacting availability and trade flows.
  • Partner with engineering and R&D teams to assess material substitution, recycling, and next‑generation sourcing solutions.
  • Supplier Relationship & Strategic Partnerships

  • Identify, qualify, and manage global suppliers and refiners that meet Coherent’s technical and ethical standards.
  • Negotiate strategic, long‑term contracts to secure stable supply at competitive costs.
  • Foster partnerships with mining, refining, and recycling entities outside of high‑risk regions to strengthen material security.
  • Collaborate with governments, trade alliances, and research institutions to advance resilient supply‑chain initiatives.
  • Compliance, Risk, and Sustainability

  • Ensure full compliance with international regulations and frameworks such as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, EU Critical Raw Materials Act, Dodd‑Frank, and REACH / RoHS.
  • Oversee due diligence, traceability, and ESG reporting processes to maintain transparency and ethical sourcing.
  • Support sustainability and circular economy programs focused on recycling and responsible resource use.
  • Conduct periodic risk reviews and scenario analyses to anticipate supply disruptions and recommend proactive mitigation plans.
  • Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Chemistry, Geology, or Engineering; advanced degree (MS / MBA) preferred.
  • Minimum 5 years of global experience in sourcing, supply chain, or materials management, with at least 5 years focused on critical or high‑risk materials.
  • Proven technical understanding of rare earth and critical mineral extraction, refining, and applications in advanced manufacturing.
  • Experience managing supply networks across multiple business segments in a complex, global organization.
  • Skills

  • Strong understanding of global mineral markets, refining capacity, and geopolitical risk landscapes.
  • Demonstrated success in supplier diversification and de‑risking initiatives, especially outside of high‑dependency regions.
  • Deep analytical, negotiation, and contract management skills.
  • Excellent communication and influencing abilities across technical, executive, and global teams.
  • Commitment to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and regulatory compliance.
  • Ability to travel internationally as required.
  • Performance Indicators

  • Reduction in sourcing dependency from high‑risk regions.
  • Security of supply across all Coherent segments.
  • Achievement of cost and risk mitigation targets.
