We are seeking a strategic supply chain leader to oversee the global production architecture for a high-growth business unit. This is a "linchpin" role designed for someone who thrives on solving the "Rubik's Cube" of international manufacturing.

As the Senior Manager of Global Planning

• Global Network Orchestration: Own the end-to-end master production schedule across multiple international manufacturing centers, ensuring a synchronized flow of goods.

• Strategic Capacity Planning: Convert volatile global demand signals into executable, capacity-constrained production plans that account for labor, material, and regional constraints.

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Partner with Global Procurement, Site Operations, and Sales to improve forecast consumption and drive industry-leading on-time delivery (OTD).

You are a high-level "systems thinker" who can manage the macro-level strategy of a global supply chain without losing sight of the micro-level details that ensure site-level success.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related Business field (APICS/CPIM certification preferred).

• Experience: 8+ years of progressive leadership in Master Production Scheduling (MPS) or Integrated Business Planning (IBP).

• Complexity: Deep experience managing supply chains for high-mix, low-volume (or mixed-mode) manufacturing environments.

• Global Footprint: Proven track record of managing planning cycles across a multi-site, multi-country factory network.

• Influence: Exceptional ability to drive alignment in a matrixed environment where you must influence stakeholders across different cultures and time zones.

• Location: This role is based in the Greater Boston Area with a flexible hybrid structure.

• Travel: Periodic international travel to manufacturing centers as required to ensure operational alignment.
