Director of SIOP

Job Summary

The Director of SIOP owns BPP's long-term planning and short-term execution processes driven by SIOP (monthly cycle, 3–12 month horizon) and S&OE (Sales & Operations Execution, weekly cadence).

The role connects Commercial Business, Engineering, Quality, Project Management, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Finance into a single operational planning rhythm, and feeds the Supply Chain Leader's IBP cycle with the operational inputs that drive strategic decision-making.

About the Role

Serve as the designated process owner for both the SIOP / IBP-feeder framework (monthly) and the S&OE framework (weekly), ensuring both processes are defined, documented, implemented, and continuously improved.

• Own and govern the SIOP framework: documented standard work and cadence, roles, inputs, outputs, planning standards, and decision rights
• Hold the Master Scheduler accountable for owning the S&OE framework — weekly cadence, schedule release, deviation reporting, and feedback into the next SIOP cycle
• Chair monthly Reconciliation and Executive SIOP meetings; approve the operational consensus plan and own the decisions surfaced through the cycle
• Define inputs, outputs, assumptions, and decision criteria to support repeatable, auditable planning across both layers
• Maintain alignment with quality system requirements and ISO process documentation standards where applicable
• Drive SIOP and S&OE maturity through best practices, technology enablement, and process discipline

Responsibilities

Strategic Demand & Supply Planning Oversight

• Set strategy and KPI targets for demand planning, master scheduling, operations planning, and production scheduling (S&OE)
• Own the rolling 3–12 month demand, supply, capacity, and inventory plan as an integrated operational outcome
• Coordinate with Manufacturing leadership on S&OE execution authority — operational ownership sits with the Master Scheduler; bay assignment and floor direction remain with Manufacturing
• Hand the consensus SIOP plan upward to the Supply Chain Leader for IBP integration

Support For The IBP Cycle

• Translate SIOP outputs into the strategic, financial, and scenario formats IBP requires
• Translate the volume plan into the P&L framing the IBP cycle requires — connecting units to revenue, margin, and working capital impact
• Maintain a single demand signal that serves both operational and financial planning views, eliminating divergence between the SIOP plan and the figures the IBP cycle relies on
• Build cross-functional alignment on a single shared planning model so the assumptions used in SIOP carry through to IBP without re-negotiation
• Build traceability between SIOP decisions and downstream consequences, providing the Supply Chain Leader with the learning data to inform strategic direction
• Surface decisions and trade-offs that require IBP-level resolution by the Supply Chain Leader

Financial Integration & Business Alignment

• Act as primary liaison between operational planning and Finance, ensuring the rolling SIOP forecast aligns with financial projections and business plan commitments
• Partner with the Supply Chain Leader on financial framing of the SIOP plan as it enters the IBP cycle
• Support revenue forecasting and budget planning cycles with demand and supply data
• Communicate the financial impact of demand changes, supply constraints, or inventory decisions to leadership
• Ensure SIOP outputs support working capital targets, margin preservation, and cost commitments

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain planning (demand planning, supply planning) or operations leadership in a manufacturing environment; ETO or complex configured-to-order experience preferred
• Direct experience leading and continuously improving a structured SIOP / IBP process across Commercial, Operations, Manufacturing, and Finance functions
• Demonstrated success leading supply chain planning teams and developing supply chain talent
• Strong financial acumen; able to translate planning outputs into financial impact and partner directly with Finance leadership
• Hands-on proficiency with enterprise ERP planning suites; D365 (Microsoft Dynamics 365) preferred
• Influence-without-authority experience driving consensus across Commercial, Operations, Manufacturing, and Finance functions
• Comfort and experience facilitating and driving decisions across top leadership within Executive SIOP meetings
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, Business, or related field
• Preferred CPIM or CSCP certification from ASCM (formerly APICS)
• Master's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, or Business
• Experience implementing or maturing SIOP in a project-driven, low-volume / high-mix ETO business
• Demonstrated experience feeding an IBP cycle with operational SIOP outputs — financial framing, scenario analysis, and cross-functional alignment
• Track record of building SIOP capability and culture across an organization
