Materials Planning Coordinator

Position Summary

Just 65 miles from Center City Philadelphia, Allentown is near many major Northeastern U.S. cities, which makes it an ideal location for manufacturing and distributing consumer goods. We utilize thermal processing and high-speed canning to produce varieties of our Friskies®, Beneful® and Pro Plan® brands—product lines that we have carefully produced, packaged, and shipped since 1958. Together, we contribute to Allentown's identity as a busy industrial city, as well as a beautiful rural environment that we are truly proud to call home. That's why we are doing our part to care for the environment we share, like conserving water, investing in renewable electricity and maintaining zero waste for disposal.

As a Materials Planning Coordinator, you'll manage and execute the ordering, delivery, and inventory of bulk and sacked ingredients for our production plant. Flex your management and organizational skills as you work closely with suppliers, carriers, and other procurement levels to support timely and cost-effective delivery of commodities.
