Obsolescence Manager information

What is an obsolescence manager?

Obsolescence Managers are professionals responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks associated with obsolete or soon-to-be obsolete components, materials, or technologies within an organization. They develop strategies to ensure that products and systems remain functional and cost-effective throughout their lifecycle, even as certain parts become unavailable. Their role often involves working closely with supply chain, engineering, and procurement teams to forecast obsolescence issues, find alternatives, and manage replacement or redesign processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an obsolescence manager?

To thrive as an Obsolescence Manager, you need expertise in supply chain management, risk assessment, and lifecycle analysis, typically supported by a degree in engineering, supply chain, or a related field. Familiarity with obsolescence management tools (like Obsolescence Management Software), ERP systems, and certifications such as Certified Obsolescence Manager (COM) are often required. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and proactive problem-solving are soft skills that set top performers apart. These competencies ensure organizations can anticipate, mitigate, and manage the risks of outdated components, minimizing disruption and cost.

What are the main challenges an obsolescence manager faces in coordinating with multiple departments?

As an Obsolescence Manager, one of the primary challenges is ensuring clear and consistent communication across engineering, procurement, and supply chain teams to identify and manage at-risk components. This role often requires balancing different departmental priorities while developing proactive strategies to mitigate supply disruptions. Building strong relationships and maintaining up-to-date records on component statuses are essential for effective cross-functional collaboration. Staying ahead of potential obsolescence issues demands ongoing vigilance and adaptability, as well as the ability to influence stakeholders to adopt recommended solutions.

What is the difference between Obsolescence Manager vs Product Lifecycle Manager?

AspectObsolescence ManagerProduct Lifecycle Manager
Primary FocusManaging product obsolescence, end-of-life planning, and replacement strategiesOverseeing entire product lifecycle from development to decline
CertificationsOften requires supply chain or project management certificationsTypically holds product management or engineering certifications
Work EnvironmentSupply chain, procurement, engineering teamsProduct development, marketing, engineering teams

While both roles involve product management, the Obsolescence Manager specifically focuses on managing product end-of-life and replacement strategies, ensuring minimal disruption. The Product Lifecycle Manager oversees the entire product journey, from inception to decline, coordinating cross-functional teams to maximize product success.

That’s why we’re pioneering the future of fragrance, combining cutting-edge smart home technology with premium, clean scents to create personalized, meaningful experiences in every home.

We’re not just a fragrance company—we’re on a mission to change the way people experience scent. At Pura, we are redefining fragrance as a critical element of design, on par with color, texture, sound, lighting, and furniture. We call this Scent Design—transforming scent from an afterthought into an intentional, skillful component of every space. By blending artistry and science, Pura allows users to design their own “scentscapes” that enhance daily life and craft environments that feel as good as they smell.

Why Join Pura?

Our journey began with two innovators, Richie Stapler and Bruno Lima, and their shared vision of revolutionizing how we experience fragrance. Since then, Pura has grown into a company that sells a fragrance every 3.7 seconds, partnering with iconic brands like Curio, Anthropologie, and Disney. We’ve been recognized as the Fastest Growing Company in Utah, and we are passionate about making scent a core part of life’s most memorable moments.

What You’ll Own:

  • Supply Commitments & Visibility: Ensure clear visibility of supply commitments and lead times from CMs; proactively manage and escalate risks to service levels or inventory health.

  • System & Parameter Maintenance: Ensure accuracy of planning parameters in ERP or planning systems—such as lead times, lot sizes, and order frequency—tailored to CM capabilities.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Demand Planning, Sourcing, Logistics, Quality, and the Commercial teams to ensure supply plans are executable and aligned to business priorities.
  • Performance Metrics: Monitor and report key planning KPIs such as service levels, CM adherence to schedule, inventory turns, and material availability.
  • Continuous Improvement (CI): Institute Lean/Six Sigma practices to institutionalize root-cause analysis on inventory variances, continuously improving schedule adherence and forecasting accuracy. 

Essential Functions:

  • Develop and execute supply plans in coordination with contract manufacturers to ensure product availability while balancing inventory targets, capacity, and lead times.
  • Manage inventory health by maintaining optimal stock levels across the network, minimizing excess and obsolescence, and supporting service level goals.
  • Leverage planning software and ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Kinaxis, or similar) to maintain accurate supply plans, manage planning parameters, and drive data-informed decision-making.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Procurement, Manufacturing Partners, Logistics, and Commercial teams to ensure timely production, material readiness, and resolution of supply risks.
 

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. (Master’s degree or MBA is a plus). 
  • 10+ years of progressive professional experience in Supply Chain, Operations, or Logistics, with a minimum of 5+ years in direct Finished Goods Supply Planning, Materials Requirement Planning (MRP), or Capacity Planning. 
  • Deep background in retail, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), e-commerce, or complex multi-channel distribution environments. 
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise ERP systems (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, Oracle) and dedicated Advanced Planning Systems (APS) / demand tools (e.g., Kinaxis, Anaplan, Logility, Blue Yonder). 
  • Expert-level data manipulation skills (Excel, SQL, Power BI, or Tableau) to analyze large datasets, model inventory scenarios, and build predictive supply risk models.
