About the Role

• Build and govern demand forecasting and demand sensing capabilities; improve forecast accuracy and reduce bias.
• Define leading and lagging KPIs for SIOP, cascade KPIs across sites, programs, and customers, and build dashboards to track and drive performance improvement.
• Develop data and analytical assets to provide inputs into monthly and weekly processes and accelerate ad-hoc analysis to engage with customers and suppliers.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to make decisions and drive actions that improve business outcomes.
• Coach, develop, and grow the planning organization and analytics talent.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree.
• 4+ years of supply chain experience, including hands-on leadership across demand planning, supply planning, MPS, and SIOP.
• 5+ years of building data and analytical assets such as forecasting models, supply chain analytical tools (e.g., clear-to-build, inventory line of balance, inventory entitlement), and centralized data assets.
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis without sponsorship now or in the future.
• Must be able to perform work subject to ITAR/EAR regulations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace and/or manufacturing experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
• Experience across a range of ERP systems (e.g., Siteline, Visual, Epicor).
• 5+ years of experience in Excel, SQL, and Python.
• Demonstrated track record in leading successful transformation programs or working with cross-functional teams in transformation initiatives.
• Proficiency in building data assets in Snowflake, running CI/CD via GitHub, developing analytical tools across multiple platforms, and supporting data operations.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with experience bringing teams together around a shared plan.
• Highly motivated and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority projects in a fast-paced environment.

Working Conditions

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Frequent sitting, standing, and walking.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 15 pounds.
• Personal protective equipment (e.g., safety glasses and safety shoes) required on the shop floor.

Benefits

• Health and disability insurance.
• 401(k) match.
• Flexible spending accounts.
