S&OP Analyst

The S&OE Analyst provides dedicated execution support to the Wholesale Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) organization by monitoring material availability, coordinating shortage recovery, and driving planning exceptions to closure. The role converts daily S&OE priorities into coordinated actions across plants, procurement, logistics, and planning, helping protect customer commitments and production continuity. Success is reflected in timely risk visibility, disciplined exception follow-through, improved support for inventory deployment and network balancing, and stronger planning-data discipline.

By owning tactical material-planning work, the position also increases leadership capacity for network optimization, process governance, Kinaxis/Maestro adoption, service recovery, and cost-to-serve improvement.

• Maintain clear shortage visibility, identify emerging supply risks, and expedite issues through the S&OE cadence with recommended recovery actions.
• Drive actions to closure by tracking owners, timing, dependencies, and changes in customer or production exposure.

• Coordinate material readiness across plants, procurement, logistics, and planning to support production continuity and customer commitments.
• Support open-order review, backlog recovery, production prioritization, order-transfer prioritization, and customer-move execution where material constraints are a driver.

• Monitor agreed deployment actions and surface exceptions that could affect service or inventory health.

• Support Kinaxis/Maestro exception management and maintain timely, accurate planning inputs and issue status.
• Use planning‑system outputs and standard S&OE reporting to prioritize material exceptions requiring action.
• Reinforce standard work, data discipline, and traceable decision follow‑through across the planning process.

• Translate S&OE actions into sustained service, inventory, and cost performance through structured follow‑up and root‑cause visibility.
• Identify recurring material‑planning issues and recommend improvements to reporting, escalation, standard work, and planning processes.

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, operations, business, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
• At least 3 years of experience in material planning, supply planning, inventory management, production planning, procurement, logistics, or a related manufacturing supply‑chain role.
• Experience using ERP, MRP, or advanced planning systems to review material requirements, inventory, supply exceptions, and recovery actions.
