This is a senior‑level, hands‑on position designed for an experienced planning professional who thrives in complex environments, owns outcomes end‑to‑end, and enjoys turning data into action.

In this role, you will lead forecasting, inventory planning, reporting, and system‑driven initiatives across divisions and at a national level. You will partner closely with Sourcing, Logistics, and cross‑functional stakeholders to improve inventory productivity, service levels, cost efficiency, and overall planning maturity.

• Lead the development, refinement, and governance of product forecasts at both division and national levels to inform purchasing and replenishment decisions

• Oversee daily JD Edwards activity, including purchase order execution, inventory allocations, and reconciliations
• Design and interpret inventory simulations to support optimal sourcing, replenishment, and stocking strategies
• Develop and enhance analytical tools to forecast, track, and support savings initiatives
• Produce, standardize, and evolve weekly and monthly reporting aligned to business objectives
• Lead forecast validation and opportunity reviews with cross‑functional teams to drive alignment and accountability
• Partner strategically with Sourcing and Logistics to optimize MOQs, container utilization, and landed cost strategies
• Own direct vendor planning responsibilities for assigned product categories, including forecasting, ordering, and stockout prevention
• Serve as a functional lead in demand planning software implementations and system enhancements
• Design and automate advanced dashboards, reports, and macro‑enabled tools to improve efficiency and data accuracy
• Represent the Supply Chain Planning function in enterprise initiatives and process redesign workshops

• Bachelor’s degree required;
  Master’s degree preferred

• Experience with JD Edwards or similar supply chain planning systems
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
• Comfort operating in ambiguity while driving structure, clarity, and results

This role is ideal for someone who wants real ownership, influence, and visibility—not just report generation.

• Own and shape strategy:
  This role has genuine autonomy and decision‑making authority, with the ability to design, refine, and evolve planning processes rather than simply execute them.
• Make a measurable impact:
  Your work directly influences inventory productivity, service levels, sourcing decisions, logistics costs, and enterprise savings initiatives.
• Work cross‑functionally at a senior level:
  You’ll collaborate closely with Supply Chain, Sourcing, Logistics, and leadership teams, translating complex data into clear, actionable insights.
• Build something meaningful:
  As the planning function continues to mature, you’ll help define roles, processes, tools, and systems that will scale with the business.
• Develop professionally:
  Exposure to system implementations, advanced analytics, vendor management, and enterprise initiatives provides strong growth and career‑path opportunities.

Hourly rate between $85,000 – $100,000 plus bonus potential and extensive benefits—including medical/dental/vision coverage, discounts on mortgages and home appliances, and a 401(k) plan with company match.
