Job Details
Summary:
Reporting to Sr Director of US Supply Chain Solutions, the Senior Manager of Supply Chain Cyber Resiliency will be the primary architect of Cencora's supply chain system cyber "bounce-back" capability. In an era of increasing digital complexity and sophisticated threats, the role will lead the planning and execution of a holistic strategy designed to ensure our supply chain technology and systems remain robust, compliant, and recoverable.
The role isn't just managing backups; they are ensuring that if the worst happens, our business doesn't stop. This critical role will sit at the intersection of Cybersecurity, Business Continuity, and GDATS Supply Chain Systems, owning the end-to-end resiliency lifecycle from vulnerability mitigation to immutable data recovery.

• Collaborate with security teams, vendors and application owners to ensure proactive patching and threat modeling are integrated into supply chain operations.
• Drive a proactive vulnerability management lifecycle specifically for supply chain systems (WMS, TMS, ERP), ensuring that critical security patches are prioritized based on business risk rather than just severity scores.
• Collaborate with vendors and Business Risk Management teams to evaluate the cybersecurity posture of upstream and downstream partners, ensuring that third-party vulnerabilities do not become a "backdoor" into our internal ecosystem.

• Establish a cadence for plan reviews and tabletop exercises to ensure that resiliency playbooks evolve alongside the business's expanding digital footprint.

Disaster Recovery (DR) & Cyber Resiliency Program

• Design, implement, and test a comprehensive Disaster Recovery framework tailored to global supply chain logistics.
• Shift the focus from traditional DR to Cyber Resiliency, ensuring systems can withstand and recover from active, malicious cyber-attacks (e.g., ransomware).

ServiceNow CMDB Coordination

• Work with the functional owner of the ServiceNow CMDB for the supply chain domain.
• Ensure high data integrity and "single source of truth" visibility into assets, dependencies, and configurations to facilitate rapid incident response.
