Role summary:

This role owns division-level planning for New Product Introductions (NPIs) and capacity analysis to enable on-time launches and decision-ready capacity recommendations. The role partners with cross-functional teams and site stakeholders to build integrated launch plans, translate demand and volume assumptions into supply and capacity requirements, and surface constraints, scenarios, and actions-supporting the Fairport, NY plant and other sites assigned.

Key responsibilities:

* NPI planning ownership:
Build and maintain end-to-end NPI supply plans (milestones, assumptions, supply readiness, and risk register) from development through manufacturing cutover across supported product lines/sites

* Capacity analysis:
Translate demand scenarios into capacity requirements (equipment, labor, materials, constraints) and recommend options (debottlenecking, shift patterns, outsourcing, capex triggers)

* Scenario planning:
Run "what-if" analyses for launch volumes, yield/rate assumptions, changeovers, and ramp curves; document trade-offs and decision points

* Cross-functional integration:
Partner with Manufacturing/Operations, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, and Finance to align assumptions, readiness, and execution plans across division and site teams

* Data & governance:
Own inputs/assumptions and version control for NPI and capacity models; ensure a single, auditable plan of record

* Steering updates:
Communicate status, risks, and recommended decisions in concise, decision-ready formats for division leadership and site stakeholders

* Continuous improvement:
Improve planning templates, the capacity modeling approach, and handoffs to site execution teams

Interfaces / key stakeholders:

* Division integrated planning / IBP / S&OE (as applicable)

* Site leadership and production planning (including Fairport, NY)

* Engineering (process, equipment, industrial)

* Commercial / product management (demand and launch assumptions)

* Finance (capex cases, cost trade-offs)

* Procurement / supplier management

Qualifications:

* Experience:

5+ years in supply chain planning, manufacturing planning, industrial engineering, operations analytics, or related roles

* Launch experience:
Demonstrated experience supporting NPIs and/or ramp-to-volume planning in a manufacturing environment

* Analytical skills:
Strong capability in capacity modeling, constraint analysis, and scenario planning

* Communication:
Able to turn complex analysis into clear recommendations and decisions

* Collaboration:

Proven ability to influence across functions without direct authority

* Tools:
Excel/Power BI, ERP, capacity modeling tools, IBP/SIOP tools

Preferred:

* Experience across multiple sites or a network planning role

* Six Sigma / Lean / structured problem-solving background

Success in the first 6-12 months looks like:

* NPI launches have a clear plan of record with quantified risks and mitigations across supported sites

* Capacity constraints are identified early, with agreed scenarios and action plans

* Stakeholders trust the assumptions and use the outputs for decisions

Working conditions:

* Travel: 25%

* Onsite expectation:
Base in Corning, NY with travel to the Fairport, NY plant and other supported sites as needed
