Requirements

• 10+ years of specific supply and inventory planning experience with at least 3+ years in management and leadership roles.
• Deep understanding of end-to-end planning – sales/demand, materials, manufacturing, and logistics — and how Supply Planning integrates those into one coherent, executable plan for NPI, EOL, and sustaining products.
• A proven track record of planning across multiple regions, CMs/OEMs, and distribution hubs to support customers globally, with demonstrated improvements in service levels, inventory efficiency and availability, and reliable execution.
• Strong proficiency with ERP and planning tools (e.g., NetSuite/MRP, advanced planning systems) and spreadsheets, plus comfort defining requirements for new tools, working with BI/analytics teams and using AI to build dashboards.
• A consistent track record of executing efficiently against strategy, detecting and resolving the biggest cross-functional problems around execution, and driving a culture of operational excellence.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across all levels and teams, with the ability to influence without authority and lead cross-company efforts that improve how we plan and execute.
• Strong executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex supply and inventory scenarios to C-level stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• Experience standing up or significantly evolving a centralized supply planning function (e.g., new CM onboarding, international expansion, new planning system roll‑out).
• Background in health tech and/or consumer electronics; fast-paced supply chains.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a team of supply planners and managers across multiple geographic regions.
• Hire, develop, and mentor direct reports through coaching, performance management, and career development planning.
• Establish team goals, KPIs, and performance metrics aligned with organizational objectives.
• Manage day-to-day team execution priorities, both delegating effectively and engaging in the details when needed.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and analytical excellence.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration with Supply Chain, Finance, Go To Market, Business Systems, and Product Management.
• Present S&OP insights and recommendations to executive leadership.
• Establish the strategy and roadmap for Supply Planning within Supply Demand Management (SDM), aligned to the product roadmap, supply chain roadmap (manufacturing and logistics), and financial targets.
• Translate strategy into an operating model (roles, cadences, decision rights) across programs, CMs, and hubs, ensuring clear ownership with cross-functional teams.
• Own the 1-year+ global MPS (Master Production Schedule / Production Plan) by contract manufacturer for all rings and accessories by SKU, connecting supply plans with forecast, materials, capacity, tooling, and inventory strategies.
• Own weekly build priorities when materials, tools, or capacity are constrained or demand exceeds supply.
• Own global inventory and allocation strategy and its governance across hubs, in partnership with Demand Planning, Sourcing, Materials, Logistics, Finance, and GTM.
• Serve as the primary owner of current and projected supply available to sell-in for weekly Supply Chain Ops Reviews and monthly executive S&OP forums, clearly articulating constraints, supply risk and opportunity, and recommendations/plans.
• Partner with Demand Planning, Materials Planning, NPI Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Sourcing, Logistics, and Finance to align assumptions and resolve cross-functional issues.
• Represent Supply Planning in company-level trade-offs, focusing on the customer and ensuring decisions consider both short-term revenue and long-term resiliency and cost.
• Drive function‑wide process and tooling improvements in partnership with Program Management, Data, and system teams (e.g., new supply planning tools, integrations into the data lake, AI dashboards), with a focus on scalability and quality of decisions, not manual heroics.
• Define and own Supply Planning KPIs (service levels, TWOS/WOS, fill rate, adherence to plan, capacity utilization) and use them to hold teams accountable and to guide continuous improvement across CMs and hubs.
• Identify and lead cross-functional improvement projects tied to Monthly S&OP, Weekly SDM Ops Review, and CM reporting, eliminating recurring fire drills and improving predictability.
