About The Position

Perrigo is seeking a meticulous and analytical Supply Network Planning Analyst to join its Oral Care supply planning team. This hybrid role combines on-site collaboration at the Kentwood and Grand Rapids locations with remote work flexibility. The analyst will help optimize supply network performance by using data-driven insights, improving supply planning accuracy, and supporting cross-functional alignment. The role offers an opportunity to develop supply chain operations and strategy expertise in a customer-focused environment.

The position focuses primarily on supply-side network planning across short- to mid-term horizons, including one to six months and beyond. The analyst uses SAP and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) to build an understanding of the supply network, analyze supply-demand alignment, and work with internal and external stakeholders to address planning constraints.

The analyst balances routine responsibilities with improvement initiatives, participates in or leads departmental and cross-functional meetings, and provides actionable recommendations to support decision-making. The role also offers professional growth through collaboration across organizational levels and the opportunity to influence outcomes through data-driven insights.

The work environment includes an indoor, climate-controlled setting. Exposure to loud noises and machinery occurs consistently or frequently, exposure to chemicals occasionally, and entry into confined spaces rarely. Safety glasses, a hairnet, and rubber-soled shoes are required when in the manufacturing plant.
