About The Position

The Integrated Planning function within RTX is responsible for driving schedule alignment with financial, factory, program operations, and engineering stakeholders, resulting in an integrated plan that forms the basis for long-term sales and operations planning (S&OP). S&OP enables program managers and value stream leaders to make strategic and tactical decisions to optimize customer satisfaction and financial performance. The Integrated Planning team enhances execution efficiency through analytics and optimization of system data to support business processes. This execution position focuses on program readiness for major end-items tied to firm contracts. The role involves understanding production demand profiles and internal/external constraints to identify, communicate, and address potential issues promptly. The individual will facilitate decision-making and collaboration across various functions and program areas using data analysis, simulation, and fact-based influence. Beyond addressing known issues, this role identifies high-risk and variability areas, analyzing scenarios to establish contingency plans for on-schedule delivery.
