Job Description

Summary of Role Purpose & Responsibilities

The Head of Supply Chain Governance and Processes provides strategic oversight and direction for supply chain governance across Equity Group and its subsidiaries. The role ensures that all activities follow approved policies, standards, and risk guidelines aligned with the Group’s strategy and regulatory requirements.

It is responsible for developing and maintaining governance frameworks and process standards across areas such as procurement, logistics, vendor management, facilities, and administration, ensuring consistency and accountability across the Group.

The role does not manage daily operations, but focuses on setting guidelines, monitoring performance, and driving continuous improvement. Operational teams remain responsible for implementation and compliance.

Additionally, the role ensures that non-compliance is identified and escalated, while maintaining a clear separation between governance and execution.

Qualifications

EXPERIENCE

  • Minimum 10–15 years’ progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, operations, governance, risk, compliance, or process excellence roles within complex, regulated, or multi-entity organizations, with demonstrable exposure to Group or enterprise-level governance environments.
  • Proven experience operating at senior leadership level, including engagement with Executive Committees, Board or Board Committees, regulators, auditors, and other senior stakeholders, with a primary focus on governance design, oversight, assurance, and strategic alignment rather than operational execution.
  • Demonstrated exposure to multi-country or multi-subsidiary environments, preferably within financial services or other highly regulated industries, requiring navigation of diverse regulatory regimes, institutional maturities, and operating contexts.
  • Strong background in governance frameworks, risk management, regulatory compliance, performance governance, and process excellence, including experience designing, implementing, and stewarding enterprise-wide policies, standards, operating models, and control frameworks.
  • Experience working within a three-lines-of-defense model, with clear understanding of the distinction between governance oversight, operational execution, and independent assurance

Must-Have Qualifications and Certifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree or relevant professional certification (e.g. CPSM, CSCP, Six Sigma) considered an added advantage.
  • A Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, or another relevant discipline is an added advantage.
