Director of Replenishment & Supply Planning

Main Responsibilities

• Lead Supply Planning Product Strategy: Define and drive the vision for the Supply Planning and Replenishment capabilities within the End-to-End Ordering Platform, connecting supplier, inbound, DC, inventory, and ordering signals into one scalable operating model.
• Enable Replenishment Buyer Decisioning: Build AI-assisted and agentic workflows that help buyers evaluate PO recommendations, supplier constraints, inbound risk, lead times, order multiples, inventory availability, and working-capital trade-offs.
• Own product strategy for ASN visibility, inbound exception tracking, appointment performance, dock detention reduction, dwell-time insights, supplier performance, and DC receiving constraints.
• Partner Closely with Warehouse Operations: Work directly with warehouse operators and DC leaders to understand receiving bottlenecks, dock constraints, inventory flow gaps, and operational pain points that must be translated into product capabilities.
• Extend supply planning and inbound visibility capabilities into manufacturing-related flows, including raw material availability, production inputs, finished goods readiness, and DC-to-manufacturing dependencies.
• Drive Data Modernization for Supply Planning: Partner with AI, Data, and GCC teams to define ontology, knowledge graph, semantic layer, event models, and trusted metrics that power explainable supply planning decisions and agentic workflows.
• Improve OTIF and Working Capital Outcomes: Prioritize capabilities that improve service reliability, reduce avoidable shortages, improve inventory productivity, reduce excess inventory, and help the business achieve higher OTIF with the lowest practical working capital.
• Lead Cross-Functional Product Execution: Partner across Supply Chain, Replenishment, Warehouse Operations, Manufacturing, Data Science, Engineering, Architecture, and GCC delivery teams to align roadmap, execution, adoption, and measurable business outcomes.
• Build and Mentor Product Talent: Lead and develop Principal PM, Sr. PM, PM, and AI Data PM talent supporting Replenishment, Supply Planning, data modernization, and AI-enabled ordering capabilities.

• Strong understanding of inbound supply chain flows, purchase orders, supplier constraints, DC receiving, inventory availability, and service metrics.
• Experience partnering with Data Science, Engineering, and Data Platform teams to build AI/ML-enabled or analytics-driven products.
• Strong executive communication, stakeholder influence, and cross-functional leadership skills.
• Ability to spend meaningful time with Replenishment Buyers, Warehouse Operations, and field teams to understand operating reality and translate it into product requirements.

• Experience with inbound visibility capabilities such as ASN quality, dock scheduling, detention reduction, dwell-time analytics, supplier performance, and exception management.
• Experience with data modernization concepts such as semantic layer, ontology, knowledge graph, data lineage, governed metrics, and reusable decision APIs.
• Experience in grocery, retail, CPG, manufacturing, distribution, or high-volume supply chain environments.
