MD Material & Planning Senior Manager

Do you enjoy driving inventory optimization, asset utilization, and supply chain performance across a global organization?

Are you passionate about materials planning, operational excellence, and leading teams to deliver business results?

Our Supply Chain organization plays a critical role in ensuring material availability, asset utilization, inventory optimization, and operational efficiency across our global operations. We are looking for an MD Material & Planning Senior Manager who is passionate about inventory management, materials planning, asset optimization, and driving business performance through cross-functional collaboration and strategic execution.

The M&D Material & Planning Leader owns the end-to-end planning, material readiness and inventory performance of the Manifold & Distribution business
, translating project/customer demand into one credible and executable plan across Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and the global fabrication-yard network.

The scope covers a broad range of subsea equipment including manifolds, PLEM/PLET, riser bases, ILTs, HIPPS, SSIVs, jumpers and connection systems. Baker Hughes publicly reports an installed base of more than 170 manifolds
.

The role is particularly important as M&D moves toward a hybrid Manufacturing + Yard execution model
, combining a global fabrication network with an increasing level of repeatable scope executed through internal manufacturing.

• Own the M&D Master Production
  
  Schedule:
  
  Create one forward-looking plan defining what needs to be built, where and when, aligned with project/customer priorities and execution capability.
• Own Material & MRP Readiness:
  Translate demand into the right material signals, identify shortages and long-lead risks early, and drive Procurement/Sourcing actions to ensure material is available when required.
• Own M&D Inventory:
  Own the overall inventory position and performance of the M&D business, balancing material availability with inventory efficiency and driving actions on excess, ageing and obsolete inventory.
• Integrate Project Demand with Execution:
  Connect Projects → Engineering → MPS/MRP → Materials/Sourcing → Manufacturing/Yards → Customer Delivery, creating one aligned execution plan across the business.
• Manage Capacity & Execution Risk:
  Ensure demand is achievable against internal manufacturing and external-yard capacity, engineering readiness and material availability, identifying and escalating constraints early.
• Support the Industrialisation of M&D:
  Enable the transition of appropriate repeatable scope toward a Manufacturing model, including UTA/SDU Lite, Manifold Valve Blocks and potentially coupler-tail welding, while establishing the planning and material strategy needed to support this shift.
• Lead the M&D Planning Organisation:
  Set priorities and drive planning discipline across Master Scheduling, Material Planning, Production Planning and Product/Project Delivery Planning, creating one integrated planning organisation.

• Hold a Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, Business, or a related field, or possess equivalent experience.
• Have strong experience in inventory management, order management, inventory optimization, and asset utilization.
• Demonstrate solid knowledge of Oracle, MRP, and inventory management processes.
• Possess experience working in complex supply chain and manufacturing environments.
• Have strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
• Demonstrate the ability to collaborate, influence stakeholders, and…
