Integrated Business Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) is building the next generation of mission solutions, and success depends on our ability to align strategy, resources, and execution. The Sr. Director of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) will be the architect and driver of SNC's enterprise-wide Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process.
This leader will design a forward-looking, data-driven planning engine that connects customer demand, supply and capacity, program execution, and financial outcomes. Beyond the mechanics, this role will shape how SNC makes decisions-through governance, business intelligence, change leadership, and disciplined process adoption.
The ideal candidate is a strategic integrator and cultural change agent-someone who can turn complexity into clarity, data into insight, and plans into results.
As SNC's corporate team, we provide the company and its business areas with strategic direction and business support spanning executive management, finance and accounting, operations, human resources, legal, IT, information security, facilities, marketing, and communications.
Build and Lead S&OP
• Develop and implement a comprehensive S&OP strategy tailored to SNC's unique business needs in the aerospace, defense, and security sectors.
• Facilitate cross-functional decision-making-aligning Strategy, IR&D, Business Development, Programs, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Talent, Facilities, and Finance to one shared integrated and dynamic plan.
• Anticipate risk and opportunity by driving scenario planning, trade-off discussions, and capacity/inventory strategies that keep us agile and mission-ready.
• Monitor and analyze S&OP performance metrics, identify gaps, and drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize operational efficiency and effectiveness.
Business Intelligence & Insights
• Establish a single source of truth for enterprise planning, integrating data from CRM, ERP, MRP, FP&A, and operations systems.
• Provide leaders with dashboards and analytics that tell the story behind the numbers-enabling faster, smarter, and more confident decisions.
• Champion digital tools and advanced planning capabilities that prepare SNC for a future of predictive, scenario-based decision-making.
• Analyze complex data sets to provide actionable insights and recommendations to senior leadership, supporting strategic initiatives and operational improvements.
Governance & Accountability
• Define the rules of the game for enterprise planning-standards, cadences, and decision rights that ensure credibility and discipline.
• Build and lead executive forums that reconcile supply, demand, and financials into actionable decisions.
• Measure and communicate progress with a clear scorecard, ensuring accountability at all levels.
Change Leadership & Culture
• Position Integrated Business Planning (IBP) not as a process, but as the way SNC runs the business.
• Lead change by engaging executives, coaching leaders, and building advocacy across programs and functions.
• Create the structures-training, playbooks, communities of practice-that sustain adoption and elevate organizational capability.
Integration Across SNC
• Ensure Integrated Business Planning outputs flow directly into master schedules, materials planning, and program execution.
• Connect planning with new program introductions, proposals, and long-lead investments to keep SNC ahead of demand.
• Influence decisions on capital, capacity, and resources to enable growth and mission success.
What Success Looks Like
• One aligned plan that the enterprise commits to and executes against.
• Forecasts and capacity plans that are accurate, trusted, and actionable.
• Increased agility in responding to shifts in customer demand, supply base, and program priorities.
• A mature, disciplined planning process that drives both operational performance and financial outcomes.
• Leaders and teams at every level engaged in and empowered by the IBP process.
