Director Global Safety Standards (Supply Chain)- Tuas

The Director, Global Safety Standards is 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 leadershipled performance system, not a compliance activity.

This role builds safety into how work is led and executed every day-through clear standards, disciplined routines, and visible leadership behaviours-across all supply chain operations globally.

The opportunity

As ResMed scales and transforms, safety must scale faster than complexity. This role is pivotal in shifting safety from compliance activity to a strategic operating model:

• Consistent global standards & safety management systems with local applicability, high adoption, and strong assurance.

• Safety as a core element of operational excellence and business continuity.

• Safety leadership behaviours as a visible executive expectation.

Scope / stakeholder footprint

• Global scope: Global Supply Operations including manufacturing sites + Technical service centres, logistics (as applicable), fulfilment centres, contractors, and key partners.

• Influences site leaders, EHS teams, operations leadership, and functional executives through structured governance and compelling executive storytelling.

• Partners with regional/site EHS leaders to co-create adoption and sustainment.

Core accountabilities (what you will own)

Design the global safety operating system

• Own and govern global safety standards for the endtoend supply chain, including manufacturing, technical service centres, logistics, fulfillment, contractors, and key partners.

• Design, maintain, and continuously improve a globally deployable Safety Management System across all supply chain operations.

• Ensure the Safety Management System operates as a scalable operating system, embedded into supply chain management routines, not a compliance overlay.

Lead deployment at scale (standards behaviour culture)

• 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.

• Ensure safety is how we work here is reinforced through daily routines, not annual campaigns.

Create executive visibility and accountability for safety

• Position safety as a foundational enabler of supply chain resilience, continuity, and scalability. Establish governance forums/cadence that drive action: clear owners, decisions, and follow-through.

• Coach leaders on safety leadership expectations (what good looks like in behaviours, conversations, and presence).

Partner deeply with site leaders and global EHS teams

• Partner with Site Leaders to ensure safety outcomes are owned by line leadership across manufacturing, logistics, and distribution operations

• Operate as the connector: align site leaders, EHS leaders, and operational excellence teams to a common global standard while respecting regulatory and cultural nuance.

• Enable site leaders with pragmatic tools, training, and communication assets-making implementation easier than local invention.

• Drive consistent participation of Site Leaders in enterprise safety initiatives, audits, and crosssite learning.

Assurance, auditing, and continuous improvement

• Own the global safety assurance and audit framework for the endtoend supply chain, ensuring consistent verification of standards and system effectiveness.

• Drive incident learning discipline: investigation quality, corrective action effectiveness, and systemic prevention.

• Ensure continuous improvement of standards based on learning, site feedback, and evolving risk profiles.

Contractor and partner safety system

• Standardise contractor onboarding requirements, safety expectations, and performance management.

• Embed safety requirements into sourcing/partner governance and commissioning readiness.

• Monitor contractor and partner safety performance, ensuring clear accountability, escalation, and continuous improvement

What culture of safety means in this role (mindsets & behaviours you model and build)

• 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: encourage reporting, learning, and stop work confidence.

• Standardisation: global standards with disciplined local execution.

Success metrics (performance measurement)

Deployment & adoption

• On-time delivery of the Safety Standards and Safety Management System deployment roadmap milestones.

• Adoption: % 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: leadership routine completion, near-miss reporting quality, learning cadence participation, stop-work confidence pulse improvement.

Outcomes

• Improved safety performance trend across the network (aligned to ResMed's standard safety measures), with demonstrated prevention learning loops.

Experience & capabilities

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

• Proven principal-level program leadership: multi-site rollout, governance, influence without authority.

• Exceptional executive communication: can translate safety into strategic business risk and operational excellence language.
