This role sits at the center of those efforts and will have meaningful visibility and influence across the business.

The Opportunity This is a highly impactful supply planning leadership role for someone who enjoys both running the planning engine and fixing what’s not working. The Supply Chain Manager will own finished goods (FG) and FF&P supply planning, ensuring demand signals, constraints, and inventory policies translate into executable, accurate plans. This person will partner closely with regional and global stakeholders, drive continuous improvement, and play a key role in scenario planning and decision support.

Key Responsibilities Lead FG and FF&P supply planning, ensuring alignment with demand priorities, business rules, and operational constraints

Own dependent requirements planning from FG to FF&P, generating netted AI demand signals and completing constrained supply plans

Execute MRP with defined freeze periods to generate accurate planned orders; own demand netting within the supply region

Manage MRP exception handling, validating and resolving issues sequentially and ensuring completeness and accuracy of MRP outputs

Own FG and bulk inventory planning in partnership with Inventory Management, including lead times, safety stock, and inventory targets

Implement and refine safety stock policies to balance service levels and working capital

Prepare supply plans by reviewing planning data, netting policies, BoMs, capacity alignment, and data accuracy (including data cleaning and validation)

Support the SIOP process by preparing inputs for regional supply reviews and incorporating allocation decisions and global constraints

Perform scenario modeling to evaluate trade-offs, assess risks, and support data-driven decision-making

Coordinate execution feasibility across key stakeholders, including Tollers, Material Planners, AI Planners, and Schedulers

Validate intercompany transfer orders generated by MRP and ensure alignment with supply priorities and stock availability

Proactively communicate supply risks and elevate critical shortages when resolution paths are not available

Continuously improve planning processes, tools, and standards by challenging inefficiencies and implementing best practices

What We’re Looking For 5–10 years of experience in supply planning within a complex manufacturing or distribution environment

CPIM certification strongly preferred

Deep expertise in MRP and dependent requirements planning, including demand netting and exception management

Strong experience working within ERP and advanced planning systems, with the ability to interpret outputs and optimize planning parameters

Proven ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders and operate effectively in matrixed organizations

Analytical, data-driven mindset with experience in scenario modeling, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement

Sound judgment and decision-making skills, balancing short-term constraints with long-term strategy and risk mitigation

Strong communication skills, with the ability to present supply scenarios, trade-offs, and recommendations to senior leaders

Detail-oriented planner who also maintains a strong big-picture perspective

Why This Role This is an excellent opportunity for a supply planning professional who wants to move beyond pure execution and play a strategic role in improving how supply decisions are made. The right person will have the chance to influence systems, processes, and outcomes — not just maintain the status quo.
