Senior Manager, Demand Planning

Who You Are: (Job Summary)

The Senior Manager, Demand Planning is a high-impact planning leader responsible for translating portfolio growth assumptions, design evolution, and execution realities into accurate, decision-ready equipment demand signals. This role owns a defined scope within the demand planning function and helps ensure that category-level demand is structured, credible, and aligned to enterprise priorities across a complex, multi-year development portfolio.

Working under the guidance of the Senior Director, Demand Planning or Director, Demand Planning, this role partners closely with engineering, portfolio planning, supply chain, procurement, construction, commissioning, and capital planning teams to maintain the integrity of the demand signal through design change, scope evolution, and shifting execution conditions. The Senior Manager brings strong technical and planning judgment, translating complex inputs into structured demand assumptions, clear implications, and actionable decision support.

This role requires strong planning discipline, business judgment, and cross-functional leadership to ensure demand signals remain current, decision-useful, and aligned to investment priorities, procurement timing, and delivery readiness. Success in this role depends on the ability to surface risk early, improve planning transparency, and strengthen the quality of demand-driven decisions across the development portfolio.

• Lead demand planning execution for an assigned equipment category and subset of development opportunities within the Integrated Business Planning framework, translating portfolio growth assumptions, planning priorities, design standards, and project phasing into accurate, actionable demand signals.

• Own the integrity, structure, and lifecycle management of category-level demand data, ensuring a reliable source of truth that informs capital planning decisions, procurement readiness, installation sequencing, and commissioning execution.

• Partner closely with capital planning, engineering, portfolio planning, supply chain, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure demand signals remain aligned to approved investment priorities, execution realities, and evolving business requirements.

• Own scenario-based capital deployment analysis and the resulting scenario outputs used for executive decision-making, leading cross-portfolio tradeoff discussions across growth, capacity, liquidity, and risk.

• Partner with the Director, Demand Planning to operationalize functional priorities, elevate structural risks, and provide decision-ready recommendations on demand conflicts, tradeoffs, and portfolio escalations.

• Build visibility into demand volume, timing, variability, and constraint exposure across assigned categories and subset of development opportunities, enabling proactive identification and mitigation of supply, schedule, capital, and execution risks.

• Ensure disciplined adherence to Integrated Business Planning processes, governance standards, and data definitions while reinforcing connectivity between demand planning, capital planning, portfolio planning, and project controls.

• Support risk-informed decision-making by surfacing emerging demand misalignments, supply constraints, and execution exposures early enough to influence mitigation plans, investment sequencing, and delivery strategies.

• Support commissioning and turnover readiness by ensuring equipment demand, procurement status, and installation data are accurately connected to downstream execution, validation, and operational handoff workflows.

• Continuously improve category planning performance through stronger data quality, tighter process control, and sharper integration across portfolio planning, demand planning, capital planning, supply strategy, risk management, and project execution.

• 10 years of experience in demand planning, capital planning, engineering, supply chain, project controls, construction, or large-scale capital project execution within complex, fast-paced environments.

• Strong understanding of how design evolution, phasing strategy, and site-specific conditions translate into equipment demand, procurement requirements, capital implications, and delivery readiness.

• Proven ability to manage complex, high-volume data inputs across multiple systems and stakeholders while maintaining planning accuracy, control, and decision-usefulness.

• Experience working across capital planning, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and portfolio or program leadership in a capital-intensive environment.

• Demonstrated ability to identify, assess, and escal

• Strong cross-functional influence skills, with the ability to align diverse stakeholders, challenge assumptions, and drive disciplined decision-making without relying on formal authority.
