    • Manage and facilitate the IBP and S&OE processes to drive alignment and achievement of short, medium, and long-term business objectives.
    • Work closely with the business and customers to align on supply chain strategies that support our different go-to-market models.
    • Collaborate with other departments and stakeholders to identify and maintain resources needed to establish and provide an effective supply chain.
    • Communicate decisions to stakeholders and identify and resolve plan variances, risk, and opportunities at the regional and global level.
    • Serve as the point-person for escalation of portfolio and risk-related issues.
  • Strategy:
    • Identify and implement new business-critical metrics and processes that enhance measures around speed, delivery performance, and cost and measure the consequential improvement over time.
    • Collaborate with key cross-functional teams to model scenarios to recommend planning strategies, establish inventory targets, and execute the plan.
    • Develop a company-wide strategic roadmap to improve planning maturity and align strategic roadmap with key stakeholders across functions, hierarchy, and different parts of the business.
  • Communications:
    • Work with business unit leadership to generate a consensus demand plan, consensus supply plan, and a final S&OP plan.
    • Influence and collaborate with key partners in marketing, sales, operations, and finance and address input gaps as identified by forecast error, bias, and volatility review, supplier performance, supply constraints, and other means.
    • Manage teams of planners to continually assess operational network planning assumptions in conjunction with procurement, planning, manufacturing operations, and logistics/warehousing, including safety stocks, lead times, order quantities, campaign or production strategy, batch yields, and cycle times.
  • Execution:
    • Assist in development of annual and strategic plans and reconcile them with monetized S&OP plans. Drive resolution of gaps to plans and communicate and escalate critical gaps between the plans in the S&OP process.
    • Conduct and/or facilitate what-if analysis to create alternate scenarios for reconciling demand, supply, and financial plans. Explain and communicate the risks and upside associated with different scenarios for more productive cross-functional discussions.
    • Manage demand and supply teams, including supply network planning and optimization, to develop monthly S&OP input (medium- or long-term demand and supply plans and working capital position).
    • Assess current processes and identify and lead improvements in planning tools, reporting, processes, culture, and skills required to align process outcomes with corporate goals.
    • Work with the demand and supply teams to define and drive an out-of-cycle plan variance realignment process if required.
    Requirements:

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited university and 10 years of Supply Chain experience in private, public, government, or military environment.
