In addition to driving accountability for known issues, this role will identify areas of greatest risk and variability and analyze different scenarios to establish contingency plans as needed to increase our ability to deliver on schedule. The execution planner will be directly involved in scheduling and planning decisions for major deliverables and provide process support and oversight with focus on near-term and mid-term plans. The individual in this role will need to leverage strong interpersonal and leadership skills to be successful in optimizing the schedule around factory efficiency, high customer satisfaction, and consistency in achieving financial targets.
