This role acts as the central orchestrator for supplier sustainability and diversity within the Corning Optical Communications business unit. You will be responsible for integrating ethical sourcing standards and diverse vendor participation directly into the procurement lifecycle, moving beyond theoretical goals to operational reality. Your daily focus involves managing the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) framework, ensuring that hundreds of suppliers meet stringent social and environmental benchmarks.
At a materials science giant like Corning, the supply chain is where the most significant environmental and social impacts reside. By leading the COC Supplier Diversity program and supporting Scope 3 decarbonization efforts, you directly influence the resilience and inclusivity of a global network that powers modern telecommunications. This position is vital because it bridges the gap between high-level corporate ESG targets and the practical, ground-level compliance of manufacturing partners.
This suits someone who possesses a strong analytical mindset and thrives in complex manufacturing environments, blending deep knowledge of supply chain ethics with the diplomatic skills needed to manage diverse international stakeholders.
