The Senior Supply Chain Planner is a high-profile, strategic contributor responsible for orchestrating the end-to-end material flow that powers our production engine. This role goes beyond execution; you will design and optimize the cross-functional frameworks between Engineering, Manufacturing, and Finance to ensure 100% production readiness.
As a Senior Supply Chain Planner, you are the architect of our supply chain resilience. You will balance complex demand-supply variables and drive the evolution of our MRP systems. You sit at the critical intersection of long-term scaling and daily operational excellence, ensuring that our BOM management and inventory strategies are proactive rather than reactive.

- Process Architecture: Partner with Product Management to define requirements for ERP/MRP software enhancements, ensuring digital tools scale with physical production.
- Inventory Strategy: Develop and maintain global site material, hardware, and consumables strategies, utilizing advanced safety stock modeling to minimize carrying costs while eliminating stockouts.
- Risk Mitigation & Intelligence: Execute high-level risk assessments (PFMEA style) considering geopolitical trends, lead-time volatility, and historical performance to safeguard the production line.
- Executive Communication: Serve as the primary point of escalation for critical supply constraints, providing data-driven recovery plans and status updates to senior leadership.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify and drive Lean or Six Sigma projects to reduce waste in the dock-to-stock cycle and improve overall inventory accuracy.
What you'll bring to the team:- Experience: 5+ years of progressive supply chain planning experience in a high-growth manufacturing environment (Aerospace, Automotive, or Semiconductor preferred).
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, or Business. APICS (CPIM/CSCP) or Six Sigma Green Belt certification is highly preferred.
- Technical Mastery: Advanced proficiency in ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, or specialized Aerospace tools) and expert-level Excel (VBA, Power Query, or data visualization tools like Tableau/Power BI).
- Strategic Sourcing: Proven ability to align site-level execution with global commodity strategies and negotiate Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that improve OTD and lead times.
- Problem Solving: A track record of resolving complex BOM discrepancies and quality escapes (NCRs) through root-cause analysis and corrective action implementation.
- Communication & Presence: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and remain calm under the pressure of a fast-moving production environment
