We are looking for a Vice President, Supply Chain Planning who will be a critical leader in the continued transformation and integration of Reliable Safety and Flow Corporation. This executive will develop and lead a best-in-class supply chain planning organization capable of supporting the company’s growth strategy, improving operational performance, optimizing working capital, and creating a more integrated and scalable manufacturing network.

Reporting to the Chief Supply Chain Officer, the VP will own the enterprise planning strategy across demand planning and forecasting, supply planning, production planning, material planning, inventory optimization, capacity planning, and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP).
