Support the effective running and continuous improvement of tonies’ global S&OP / IBP process by owning the operational backbone of the monthly cycle. The role ensures meetings are well prepared and well documented, inputs are complete and consistent, and planning insights/KPIs are consolidated into high-quality packs that enable strong cross-functional decisions.

The S&OP / IBP Planner works closely with the S&OP / IBP Lead (Planning CoE) and cross-functional stakeholders to standardise templates, maintain calendars, track actions and decisions, and progressively strengthen data quality, reporting, and planning routines in a low-maturity environment. The role is hands‑on and execution‑oriented: “make it happen” for the cycle.

• Operational management and orchestration of the global monthly S&OP / IBP cycle (Demand Review > Supply Review > Pre-IBP alignment > Executive IBP).
• Consolidation of demand/supply/financial inputs into standard meeting packs and dashboards.
• Action, decision, and risk/opportunity tracking across the cycle, ensuring follow-up and transparency.
• Support to planning governance, data discipline, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Process (run the monthly cycle “engine room”)
• Own the monthly S&OP / IBP calendar end-to-end: schedule all cycle steps, send invites, manage deadlines, and distribute pre-reads.
• Coordinate input collection across functions and markets (demand, supply, inventory, constraints, NPI, risks & opportunities, financial impacts).
• Ensure meeting readiness for each step (Demand Review > Supply Review > Pre-IBP alignment > Executive IBP): complete inputs, aligned assumptions, clear storyline, decision-focused content.
• Support facilitation during key meetings (timekeeping, parking lot topics, action capture, decision confirmations).
• Methods (analytics, pack building, insights)
• Build and maintain standard decks/templates for each S&OP/IBP step; consolidate inputs into decision-ready packs (slides, dashboards, summaries) together with the S&OP / IBP Lead.
• Consolidate and validate key planning metrics (e.g., forecast accuracy/bias by horizon, service/OTIF, inventory health, plan adherence, exceptions) and produce concise insights for stakeholders.
• Create practical analyses to explain drivers and patterns (e.g., forecast error by SKU segment, launch vs steady-state performance, constraint drivers).
• Support scenario comparison materials (e.g., constrained vs unconstrained plans, allocation options, inventory trade-offs) for decision-making.
• Governance (standards, traceability, follow-through)
• Document minutes, decisions, and trade‑offs; maintain action logs with owners and due dates; proactively follow up to ensure closure.
• Maintain “single version of the truth” files and version control; ensure consistent structure, naming, and transparency of…
