Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Leadership: Facilitate the monthly 4-week SIOP cadence of demand planning, supply planning, financial review, and executive decision making. Drive consensus demand and supply plans in both units and revenue ($) for assigned lines of business, presenting actionable trade-off analysis (service vs. cost vs. inventory) to senior executive leadership. Ensure project delivery within the allocated budget and timelines, leveraging strong analytical and financial skills.
• Demand & Supply Alignment: Lead analytics, create data-driven visualizations, and deliver actionable insights to form a robust consensus plan. Partner with Demand Planning, Material/Capacity leaders, and Offering Management to reflect product lifecycle transitions and unconstrained/constrained scenarios accurately.

• Data Analysis & KPI Ownership: Utilize advanced analytics and planning tools to drive continuous improvement across key operational metrics. Own and report on critical KPIs, including Forecast Accuracy, On-Time In-Full (OTIF), Plan Adherence, DIO, and Revenue Attainment vs. Plan. Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks throughout the project lifecycle.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Develop strong cross-functional relationships across Sales Operations, Offering Management, Operations, Procurement, Engineering, and Finance to build organizational rapport and promote alignment persuasively without direct authority.
• Systems & Transformation: Implement, optimize, and leverage enterprise planning systems to build reliable views, scenario modeling capabilities, and governance structures.

Requirements:

• Technical Expertise: Advanced proficiency with intermediate to high-level order processing systems, inventory software, and enterprise planning platforms (e.g., Kinaxis, SAP IBP/APO, or Oracle).
• Financial & Business Acumen: Proven track record linking supply chain outputs directly to financial forecasts, P&L commitments, and cost-reduction initiatives.
• Communication & Influence: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to manage complex alignment processes, simplify technical data, and influence senior Director and VP stakeholders.
• Problem Solving & Structure: Demonstrated ability to bring structure to ill-defined problems, synthesize complex data into executive-ready recommendations, and manage multiple priorities independently.
