Position Overview:

The Supply Planning Director will own end-to-end supply planning operations across 1440 Foods' portfolio of brands, ensuring product availability, cost efficiency, and operational excellence. This role sits at the intersection of demand translation, inventory management, and cross-functional execution - acting as a critical link between sales, operations, procurement, and manufacturing partners.

This individual will be responsible for developing and managing supply plans that align with commercial demand forecasts, production capabilities, and inventory targets. The role requires a disciplined, analytical operator who can balance short-term responsiveness with long-term planning rigor, while managing complexity across a multi-brand, multi-SKU environment.

If you are a data-driven supply chain professional who thrives at the intersection of operational planning and cross-functional collaboration, and who takes ownership of inventory performance end-to-end, we'd love to talk to you.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and execute supply plans across all brands and SKUs to ensure on-time availability and optimal inventory levels
• Translate demand forecasts from the S&OP process into actionable production plans, aligning with capacity and lead time constraints
• Own inventory performance metrics including days of supply, fill rate, and inventory turns - identifying risks and opportunities and communicating clearly to leadership
• Partner with co-manufacturers and procurement to manage production scheduling, material availability, and inbound supply reliability
• Lead supply exception management, proactively identifying shortfalls, overstock positions, and supply disruptions and driving resolution across internal and external stakeholders
• Maintain and continuously improve the supply planning system, data integrity, and planning parameters (lead times, safety stock, MOQs, and reorder points)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, finance, marketing, and operations to align supply plans with business priorities including new item launches, promotions, and seasonal demand
• Support innovation and new product launches by developing supply ramp-up plans, coordinating with co-manufacturing partners, and ensuring on-time availability
• Build and maintain reporting and dashboards that track supply plan adherence, inventory health, and service level performance, and communicate insights to the broader organization.
• Contribute to the monthly S&OP process by preparing supply-side inputs, surfacing constraints, and facilitating alignment between supply capacity and demand.
• Stay current on supply chain best practices, tools, and industry developments - and translate learnings into continuous improvements within the planning function.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, or a related field required
• 8-10 years of directly relevant supply planning or demand/supply chain experience, preferably within CPG, food & beverage, or consumer products
• Demonstrated ownership of supply plan performance including inventory management, service levels, and production scheduling
• Hands-on experience with supply planning tools and ERP systems (Atlas, SAP, NetSuite, or similar); experience with advanced planning systems (e.g., o9, Kinaxis, or Blue Yonder) a plus
• Experience handling a team and stakeholders across multiple functions
• Proven ability to analyze complex data sets and translate insights into actionable supply decisions and operational improvements
• Strong understanding of S&OP processes, co-manufacturing environments, and multi-tier supply chain dynamics
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment while managing multiple priorities and tight deadlines
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with experience working across sales, finance, operations, and external manufacturing partners
• Advanced Excel proficiency required; experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) preferred

Salary for the Supply Planning Director role starts at $175,000.
