About The Position

At Pittston Co-Packers, we are a team of hardworking individuals driven by a shared purpose: delivering the highest quality beverages through innovation, precision, and pride in our craft. From our production lines to our support teams, we believe in keeping things simple, empowering each other to take ownership, and working together to achieve excellence. We’re not just growing; we’re setting a new standard in beverage manufacturing. Our culture is built on trust, collaboration, and a strong commitment to doing things the right way. If you’re looking for a workplace where your contributions are valued, your ideas are welcomed, and your growth is supported, you’ll feel right at home with us. Job Summary: The Demand Planning Manager is the tactical bridge between our customers’ supply chain teams and Pittston Co-Packers' production floor. Unlike traditional demand planning roles that focus on consumer sales trends, this role focuses on operationalizing customer demand. You will ingest forecasts from national beverage brands, audit them against our manufacturing capacity, and drive the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process to ensure every scheduled run has the necessary ingredients and packaging. You will be the "Check and Balance" for the facility, ensuring that the production team can produce exactly what each customer needs efficiently and according to schedule. You will identify gaps in inventory or capacity weeks before they become critical failures.
