Senior Supply Planner

About the role

This is a high-visibility, high-accountability position owning the end-to-end supply planning of finished goods across a complex, fast-moving CPG environment. We need someone who gets up to speed quickly, thinks ahead, and proactively drives solutions—not someone who waits for direction.

• Anticipate risk—especially with long-lead items—and develop contingency plans before issues escalate.
• Optimize inventory to prevent stockouts, minimize excess, and reduce obsolescence.
• Analyze data trends, supply constraints, and forecast signals to improve planning accuracy.
• Monitor and report KPIs, highlighting risks and driving corrective actions.
• Own and evolve planning tools, dashboards, and processes to improve visibility and efficiency.
• Lead or participate in cost-reduction and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Travel occasionally to vendors for procurement and relationship-building.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, or related field.
• 5+ years in supply or production planning (CPG preferred).
• Strong Excel proficiency (advanced functions expected).
• Experience building dashboards, tools, and planning models.
• ERP and inventory management system experience required.
