We are on a journey of continuous growth - now looking for our next star - a passionate Director, Supply Chain within our Operations and Supply Chain capability.

This position reports to the Vice President Operations and Supply Chain and will work in the Elkhart, IN area.

About the position

The Director of Supply Chain is the operational and analytical backbone of Dometic's North American supply chain. This leader owns the full planning ecosystem - spanning Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) for mid-to-long-term business alignment, Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) for short-term planning and real-time execution, supply planning for traded goods and manufactured components, material planning across all manufacturing facilities, and inventory control to meet working capital targets.

This is a role that demands equal measures of strategic thinking and execution discipline. The Director must be a credible voice in executive S&OP reviews, a rigorous steward of the weekly S&OE rhythm, an accountable owner of inventory health, and a hands-on leader capable of developing a team of analysts and planners into a high-performing, insight-driven function.

The ideal candidate combines strong planning, leadership, and sound supply chain judgment with the ability to align Sales, Finance, Operations, and Manufacturing around a single, executable plan.

Experience with planning systems and analytics is important, but success in this role is driven by robust processes, execution discipline, and turning insight into action.

Your main responsibilities

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP - Mid to Long-Term)

• Own the end-to-end S&OP cycle across the North American business - from statistical baseline and demand collaboration through supply review and executive S&OP.
• Ensure every stage of the monthly S&OP cadence produces decision-ready outputs that balance demand signals, supply constraints, inventory targets, and financial objectives.
• Serve as the primary supply chain voice in executive S&OP meetings - presenting performance, risk, and opportunity with clarity to the VP of Supply Chain and senior leadership.
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment sessions with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Product Development, translating commercial inputs into a consensus demand plan.
• Define, track, and govern S&OP KPIs - forecast accuracy (MAPE/bias), fill rate, inventory turns, and planning cycle adherence - with a continuous improvement mandate.
• Prepare and communicate monthly supply chain performance reports to the executive team.

Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE - Short-Term Planning & Execution)

• Own the weekly S&OE process - bridging the gap between the monthly S&OP plan and real-time execution, ensuring near-term supply and demand imbalances are identified and resolved with urgency.
• Lead the weekly S&OE review cadence with Operations, Procurement, Logistics, and Customer Service - driving rapid decision-making on order fulfillment priorities, expedites, substitutions, and supply exceptions.
• Maintain a rolling 4-8 week execution horizon view, monitoring order backlog, open purchase orders, production schedules, and inbound shipment status to proactively surface risks.
• Establish clear escalation paths between S&OE and S&OP - ensuring short-term deviations are captured, root-caused, and fed back into the monthly planning cycle as structured input.
• Define S&OE metrics - adherence to plan, exception resolution cycle time, expedite frequency, and short-term fill rate - and drive continuous improvement against these targets.

Demand Planning & Forecasting

• Manage the aggregation of demand plans across product lines and business segments, producing a rolling 12-18 month unconstrained demand view in units and value.
• Lead statistical forecasting and collaborative adjustments using SO99+ (Tools Group), leveraging advanced algorithms and exception-based management to optimize forecast accuracy.
• Drive new product introduction (NPI) planning in partnership with Sales and Product Development, ensuring accurate ramp-up assumptions and inventory positioning from day one.
• Document, validate, and challenge planning assumptions with rigor - creating a culture of accountability and intellectual honesty within the planning team.
• Monitor market signals, customer trends, and macro factors that may influence demand; translate findings into actionable planning adjustments.

Supply Planning - Traded Goods & Manufactured Components

• Lead supply planning for both traded finished goods and manufactured components, ensuring the right inventory is available at the right location and time.
• Oversee translation of…
