Job Description:

DePuy Synthes is recruiting for a Senior Manager, Operational Risk Lead, located in the United States or Switzerland or Ireland or the United Kingdom.

This senior global role owns the definition and execution of Enterprise Risk Management and Business & Supply Continuity strategies for DePuy Synthes’ Global Supply Chain. This position will be responsible for leading the global strategy, governance, and programs that strengthen supply chain resilience, protect continuity of supply, and ensure organizational readiness for disruptions. This leader partners across regions, franchises, and enabling functions to identify risks, drive mitigation and recovery strategies, and embed continuity capabilities into end-to-end supply chain operations. The role has high enterprise visibility and directly influences how the organization anticipates risk, responds to disruption, and embeds continuity capabilities into end-to-end supply chain operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the global Business & Supply Continuity strategy for DePuy Synthes, aligned to Global Supply Chain priorities and enterprise risk management expectations.
  • Design and deploy standardized continuity frameworks, governance, and playbooks across manufacturing, distribution, suppliers, and planning functions.
  • Partner with regional and functional supply chain leaders to identify critical risks, conduct impact analyses, and define mitigation and recovery strategies.
  • Oversee crisis preparedness, scenario planning, and response coordination to ensure continuity of supply during disruptions.
  • Integrate continuity and resilience requirements into broader supply chain strategy and transformation initiatives, including network, digital, and operating model changes.
  • Establish metrics, reporting, and executive-level insights to monitor readiness, resilience performance, and continuous improvement.
  • Influence and align cross-functional stakeholders (Quality, Procurement, Manufacturing, Logistics, IT, and Commercial) on continuity priorities and decisions.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a global team and/or extended network supporting continuity and resilience initiatives.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
