- Perform scenario modeling to evaluate trade-offs, assess risks, and support data-driven decision-making
- Coordinate execution feasibility across key stakeholders, including Tollers, Material Planners, AI Planners, and Schedulers
- Validate intercompany transfer orders generated by MRP and ensure alignment with supply priorities and stock availability
- Proactively communicate supply risks and escalate critical shortages when resolution paths are not available
- Continuously improve planning processes, tools, and standards by challenging inefficiencies and implementing best practices

- CPIM certification strongly preferred
- Deep expertise in MRP and dependent requirements planning, including demand netting and exception management
- Strong experience working within ERP and advanced planning systems, with the ability to interpret outputs and optimize planning parameters
- Proven ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders and operate effectively in matrixed organizations
- Analytical, data-driven mindset with experience in scenario modeling, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement
- Sound judgment and decision-making skills, balancing short-term constraints with long-term strategy and risk mitigation
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to present supply scenarios, trade-offs, and recommendations to senior leaders
- Detail-oriented planner who also maintains a strong big-picture perspective
