About the Role

The Senior Supply Planner leads mid- to long-range supply planning to achieve customer service, inventory, capacity, and cost objectives. This role uses SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and SAP S/4HANA to develop feasible supply plans, identify constraints and risks, evaluate scenarios, and drive cross-functional action through the S&OP/IBP process.

Responsibilities

Own the 3- to 18-month supply plan in SAP IBP, translating the consensus demand plan into feasible production, inventory, and capacity plans across assigned plants, co-manufacturers, and distribution locations.
Use SAP IBP Supply, Response and Supply, and inventory planning capabilities to identify constraints, shortages, stock-outs, excess inventory, and service risks.
Develop and compare supply scenarios for demand changes, capacity or material constraints, new opportunities, and operational disruptions; recommend options based on service, cost, inventory, and feasibility.
Lead the monthly S&OP/IBP supply review, presenting capacity outlooks, key gaps, assumptions, risks, opportunities, and required decisions.
Convert approved supply plans into executable requirements in SAP S/4HANA, including planned orders, production proposals, and material requirements, while maintaining consistency between systems.
Partner with plant schedulers and manufacturing teams to develop achievable short-term production plans that balance inventory, capacity, sequencing, run rules, and changeovers.
Manage supply exceptions and lead root-cause analysis for significant service failures, inventory deviations, and recurring planning issues, defining corrective actions and following through with owners.
Maintain inventory policies, safety-stock parameters, lot sizes, planning calendars, sourcing rules, lead times, and other master data required for reliable planning outputs.
Support new product introductions, product transitions, discontinuations, seasonal pre-builds, and network changes through integrated supply and inventory planning.
Act as a subject matter expert and super user for SAP IBP and SAP planning processes, supporting issue resolution, training, testing, data quality, system enhancements, and continuous improvement.
Coach junior planners and promote standardized planning practices, stronger analytics, and collaboration across Demand Planning, Manufacturing, Procurement, Logistics, Commercial, Finance, and IT.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related discipline.
Minimum five years of progressive experience in supply planning, master production scheduling, capacity planning, or production planning within a manufacturing environment.
Hands-on experience with SAP IBP for supply planning, response planning, scenario analysis, exception management, and planning analytics.
Strong experience with SAP S/4HANA Production Planning and Materials Management, including MRP, planned orders, capacity evaluation, production versions, bills of material, routings, and planning master data.
Experience supporting S&OP or Integrated Business Planning processes and presenting supply recommendations to cross-functional leaders.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
APICS CPIM or CSCP certification is preferred.
