What you'll do:
Reporting to the leader of IBP 2, the Network Planner will lead a team of 10, including a Materials Operations Manager, Schedulers and Planners to support the ESS (Engineering Services and Solutions) group. This position has a leading role in the integrated, intelligent and agile supply chain organization, focusing on the full SIOP horizon including execution (0-36 months). In this role, you will be responsible for demand-supply balancing for the value stream and provide insights on demand at risk for this portfolio. You will set and maintain the guardrails by which the consensus supply plan is generated, taking into consideration constraints, allocation and prioritization rules for the full horizon and manage critical exceptions in mid-term. This role will engage broadly across the network at a strategic level, rather than focusing on day-to-day operational details.
Essential Functions Include:
Leadership & Collaboration - Manage a team of Network Schedulers / MPS planners responsible for value stream in the 0-3 months window and functionally collaborate with a team of Buyers, Material Planners, and Order Managers. Partner with operations, warehousing, and operational procurement if capacity gaps require escalation.
Capacity & Demand Planning - Manage capacity vs. demand (0-36 months horizon), flagging any exceptions, driving solutions, and decision-making to close the gap. Provide relevant information to the divisional SIOP meetings regarding supply vs. demand (capacity) and FG inventory performance.
Supply & Inventory Management - Manage replenishment strategy across the value stream in line with the inventory policy. Conduct regular parameter audits. Work with SIOP and business teams to update FG inventory targets and inventory policies. Create the consensus supply plan, balancing FG inventory and capacity with the objective of meeting demand on-time and in full.
Execution & Performance Monitoring - Ensure production schedule adherence and attainment. Review supply and inventory performance metrics, inventory outlook projection, identify gaps vs. targets & improvement opportunities, and liaise with relevant stakeholders to execute improvement action plans.
Strategic Planning & Optimization - Accountable for value stream improvements in cash, cost, and customer service results. Initiate scenario planning to optimize the plan on service, cash, and costs. Prioritize order allocation in case of supply constraint (affecting more than one market/customer) in collaboration with the Execution Scheduler.
What will make you successful?
The ideal candidate thrives in managing complex material flows across multi-tier manufacturing and distribution networks, leveraging broad technical expertise in planning, execution, procurement, and plant operations. You are a strategic thinker with a deep understanding of how supply chain decisions impact P&L and working capital and excel at interpreting large data sets to drive actionable insights. With the capability to build strong relationships across all levels, you influence cross-functional stakeholders-including sales, finance, product leadership, and HR-through compelling storytelling and communication. Your global mindset, adaptability, and ability to lead through complexity make you a visible and inspiring force for change. We are looking for candidates who are diverse in their backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and who can bring fresh and innovative ideas to our team.
