This role owns the creation and ongoing maintenance of the production schedule while partnering closely with Supply Planning, Materials Planning, Operations, and cross-functional teams to balance demand, capacity, materials availability, validation needs, and line efficiency.

  • Schedule SKUs and production lines efficiently to improve validation time, support manufacturing performance metrics, increase OEE, and protect customer service levels.
  • Partner with Materials Planning and Operations to issue feasible, attainable, clear-to-build production schedules that account for materials availability, capacity, labor, and operational constraints.
  • Collaborate with Supply Planning to ensure high-priority demand, inventory needs, and service risks are appropriately reflected in the production schedule.
  • Maintain and improve planning master data, including CPH and related scheduling assumptions, to support accurate timelines, realistic production plans, and effective decision-making.
  • Lead communication and alignment across Supply Planning, Materials Planning, Operations, and other cross-functional partners to manage schedule changes, risks, and tradeoffs.
  • Support larger projects and process improvement initiatives that strengthen planning discipline, improve schedule stability, and enhance end-to-end supply chain execution.
Requirements

The requirements of this position include:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain, Operations Management, or a related field required.
  • 5+ years of CPG industry, supply chain, production planning, or manufacturing planning experience with a strong understanding of end-to-end supply chain processes.
  • Experience leading planning processes, coordinating cross-functional work, and influencing teams across Supply Planning, Materials Planning, Operations, and related functions.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and experience working in SAP or a similar ERP/planning system.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to assess performance gaps, identify root causes, and translate data into clear actions.
  • Detail-oriented, self-directed, and comfortable taking initiative while consistently producing high-quality, sustainable results.
  • Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to align stakeholders, explain tradeoffs, and drive decisions across functions.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance large projects, process improvement initiatives, daily execution, and competing cross-functional priorities.
  • Professional demeanor with strong written and verbal communication skills.
