Execution Planning Manager - SC Ops Strategy, Planning & Insights - HYBRID; Seattle, WA)

The Execution Planning Manager – SC Ops Strategy, Planning & Insights will own the weekly S&OE forum and the broader business rhythms that support it. This individual is accountable for the forum's agenda, decisions, and executive-level recap. This person owns scaled events readiness for high-volume moments like Anniversary Sale and Holiday, maintains the annual events calendar as a standing input to the network's risk cadence, and triages urgent ad-hoc requests from the business as they arise.

Working from data and signals surfaced across the network, this person identifies downstream cross-functional impacts, drives named mitigation actions and holds owners accountable until risk is resolved. This role partners closely with SC Operations, Transportation, Volume Planning, Store Operations, Finance, and HR to build cross-functional alignment and drive decisions across the organization. This role requires an individual who thinks in systems with the ability to trace how a single disruption (a labor gap, a volume spike, a carrier delay) ripples across inbound, DC/FC processing, and outbound to stores, and to prioritize accordingly.

It requires executive-level communication and comfort driving decisions and alignment across functions that don't report to this person, often under incomplete information. The ideal candidate has experience applying structured frameworks (RACI, decision rights, escalation criteria) to bring discipline to a new and still-evolving process, along with the entrepreneurial spirit to grow that process from its early stages to maturity.
