Director Global Safety Standards (Supply Chain), Singapore

We are looking for our future Director, Global Safety Standards – Supply Chain to join our Global Manufacturing Operations team. The role is offered as hybrid in Singapore, at the Tuas Crescent site, with frequent travel.

The Director will be the enterprise safety leader and architect for ResMed’s Global Supply Chain. This role defines, deploys, and sustains ResMed’s Global Safety Standards and Safety Management System, ensuring safety operates as a leadership‑led performance system, not a compliance activity.

Safety will be built into how work is led and executed every day—through clear standards, disciplined routines, and visible leadership behaviours—across all supply chain operations globally.

Design and govern the global safety operating system: Own and govern global safety standards for the end‑to‑end supply chain, including manufacturing, technical service centres, logistics, fulfillment, contractors, and key partners.

Build a globally deployable Safety Management System: Design, maintain, and continuously improve a system that operates as a scalable operating system embedded into supply‑chain management routines, not a compliance overlay.

Lead deployment at scale: Build deployment playbooks that convert standards into consistent behaviours: onboarding, leader routines, contractor management, incident learning. Lead phased rollouts by site archetype and maturity, ensuring readiness criteria and sustainment controls are in place.

Position safety as a foundational enabler: Establish governance forums and cadence that drive action—clear owners, decisions, and follow‑through. Coach leaders on safety leadership expectations.

Partner with site leaders and global EHS teams: Enable site leaders with pragmatic tools, training, and communication assets. Drive consistent participation of Site Leaders in enterprise safety initiatives, audits, and cross‑site learning.

Assure and audit safety performance: Own the global safety assurance and audit framework for the end‑to‑end supply chain, ensuring consistent verification of standards and system effectiveness. Drive incident learning discipline and continuous improvement of standards.

Manage contractor and partner safety systems: Standardise contractor onboarding requirements, embed safety requirements into sourcing/partner governance, and monitor contractor safety performance.

Safety is a value and a system: non‑negotiable, visible, measurable, and continuously improved. Leaders are accountable for safety as the top priority: presence, routines, learning, corrective action.

Psychological safety is encouraged through reporting, learning, and “stop work” confidence.

Standardisation ensures global standards with disciplined local execution.

Deployment & adoption: On‑time delivery of the Safety Standards and Safety Management System deployment roadmap milestones. Adoption: percentage of sites implementing required standards and routines with evidence of execution.

Assurance & compliance: Audit/maturity outcomes: improvement trend; closure rate and time‑to‑close of corrective actions. Contractor onboarding compliance and contractor safety performance trend.

Culture & leading indicators: Increase in leading indicators that reflect culture, such as leadership routine completion, near‑miss reporting quality, learning cadence participation, and “stop‑work” confidence pulse improvement.

Outcomes: Improved safety performance trend across the network, with demonstrated prevention learning loops.

Deep EHS/safety systems expertise in manufacturing and logistics; strong grasp of global standards deployment.

Proven principal‑level program leadership: multi‑site rollout, governance, and influence without authority.

Exceptional executive communication skills, able to translate safety into strategic business risk and operational excellence language.

Strong partnering approach that works with, not around, site leaders and EHS teams; balances global consistency with local requirements.

Change leadership capability that understands adoption, reinforcement, and sustainment.

Employees benefit from a bonus plan, referral bonus, preferred shareholding programme, and competitive benefits, including working‑from‑home flexibility and internal career opportunities within a fast‑growing international company.
