> Drives end-to-end materials readiness and supply execution for new product introduction and sustaining programs. Partners with cross-functional teams to ensure material availability, manage supply risk, and align with manufacturing capacity and launch targets.

## Job description

At WHOOP, we’re on a mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives, combining hardware, software, and analytics to deliver actionable insights.

WHOOP is seeking a Senior Materials Program Manager to drive end-to-end materials readiness and supply execution across new product introduction (NPI) and sustaining programs. This role sits at the intersection of hardware engineering, global supply management, and operations, ensuring material availability aligns with program milestones, manufacturing capacity, and launch targets. The Senior Materials Program Manager will play a critical role in safeguarding product continuity, enabling successful ramps, and delivering a world-class member experience.

## RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Own materials readiness across the full product lifecycle, from early development builds through mass production and sustaining.
- Drive clear-to-build processes, ensuring material supply aligns with program schedules, demand forecasts, and manufacturing capacity.
- Partner cross-functionally with Hardware Engineering, Global Supply Management, Operations, Finance, and Manufacturing teams to translate product roadmaps into executable material plans.
- Lead structured reviews to assess supply risk, allocation exposure, and capacity constraints, and drive mitigation plans to closure.
- Monitor demand, supply, and inventory signals to balance continuity of supply with working capital efficiency and inventory health.
- Coordinate with internal manufacturing sites and external partners (CM/ODM/JDM) to ensure alignment across all build locations and ramp scenarios.
- Establish disciplined tracking mechanisms for material availability, shortages, recovery plans, and ramp readiness, with clear communication and escalation of risks that could impact launch timing or customer commitments.

## QUALIFICATIONS:

- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Operations, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 8+ years of experience in materials program management, supply planning, or operations program management within a high-volume hardware or consumer electronics environment.
- Demonstrated experience supporting material readiness for NPI and high-volume production, ideally within CM, ODM, or JDM manufacturing models.
- Strong analytical and program management capabilities, with experience aligning demand, supply, and manufacturing execution to program schedules.
- Experience working across global manufacturing footprints and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, supply chain, operations, and finance.
- Proven ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments while building scalable processes and driving structured execution.
- Willingness to travel internationally (approximately 15%) to support manufacturing sites and key supply partners as needed.
- Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
