    Job description

    About Hologic & Global Operations & Supply Chain

    Hologic is a global leader in women's health, dedicated to detecting and treating illnesses and conditions that matter most, so people can live healthier lives everywhere, every day. Now backed by Blackstone and TPG as a private company, Hologic is entering a new chapter defined by long-term investment in innovation and market leadership.

    Hologic's Global Operations and Supply Chain organization keeps its medical device manufacturing sites running safely, efficiently and in compliance with regulatory requirements worldwide. Hologic's Costa Rica site plays a critical role in that network, and the function partners closely with Quality, Finance and IT to keep supply, service and cost objectives aligned with the company's broader Operations strategy.

    Role Summary

    Hologic is looking for a Program Director, Supply Chain, Operations & Strategy to lead strategic initiatives at its Costa Rica site. The role leads a cross-functional agenda with global stakeholders, advancing service, cost, quality, compliance and resilience objectives, without requiring formal ownership of a director-level P&L or large organization.

    What You'll Bring — Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours

    Knowledge — what you know

    • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Industrial Engineering, Business or a related field.
    • Seven or more years of progressive experience in supply chain and/or operations roles, ideally within medical device, pharma or another regulated manufacturing environment.
    • Fluent English and Spanish, written and spoken.
    • Experience working within a matrixed, multinational organization, partnering with stakeholders across the US and other regions.
    • (Preferred) MBA or equivalent advanced degree in Operations, Supply Chain or Business.
    • (Preferred) Lean, Six Sigma, or APICS/CPIM certification.
    • (Preferred) Experience in a free-trade-zone or shared-services manufacturing site, including familiarity with applicable trade, customs and import/export considerations.
    • (Preferred) Prior experience with Oracle or a comparable ERP/MRP system in a manufacturing context; experience using analytics or visualization tools to support operational decision-making is a plus.

    Skills — what you can do

    • Able to lead cross-functional programs and influence without direct authority.
    • Skilled in structured program management, including governance, risk management, business-case development and benefits tracking.
    • Strategic thinker, able to execute at a tactical site level and convert strategy into a clear, measurable roadmap.
    • Strong stakeholder management across geographies and functions, partnering confidently with global and US-based leaders.
    • Data-driven, comfortable owning KPI reporting and turning performance insights into action.

    Behaviours — how you show up

    • Bias for action, sound judgment and disciplined change leadership in a fast-paced, matrixed manufacturing environment.
    • A coaching mindset, building capability in others through structured process ownership rather than formal, large-team management.
    • A clear communicator who drives change adoption through structured stakeholder engagement.
    • Comfortable representing site interests in global governance forums, balancing local execution with enterprise priorities.

    Why Join Hologic

    This is an opportunity to shape supply chain and operational excellence at one of Hologic's key manufacturing sites, with direct influence over how global strategy translates into local execution and measurable impact.
