About The Position

The SIOP Associate Director leads the integrated planning management system for Data Solutions, connecting commercial demand, capacity, materials, inventory, manufacturing, financial expectations, and executive decisions. The role designs, governs, and matures SIOP/IBP so it delivers an aligned, decision-ready plan across functions. This position leads the end-to-end SIOP/IBP operating model, including program/product, demand, supply and capacity, financial reconciliation, executive SIOP, and governance linking SIOP to near-term SIOE execution. It establishes an integrated business plan and governs scenarios and executive trade-offs. The role also develops the planning organization and capability, advances rough-cut capacity planning, and owns strategic supply-network design and lifecycle governance for major changes such as launches, site transfers, and end-of-life transitions. Working across Operations, Sourcing, Procurement, Sales, Product Management, Program Management, Finance, and site leadership, the Associate Director turns SIOP decisions into executable capacity, material, inventory, and network actions. The role drives planning-process transformation, standard work, data governance, decision rights, talent development, digital and analytics adoption, and continuous improvement. nVent is a global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. The position offers a compensation range of $146,300 to $271,700, with possible additional compensation such as annual incentives, depending on the position offered. Eligible full-time employees receive a broad benefits package.

10+ years of progressive leadership experience across SIOP/IBP, demand and supply planning, materials, capacity planning, network planning, manufacturing strategy, or adjacent supply-chain fields is preferred.
Demonstrated success leading a cross-functional SIOP/IBP process and converting functional plans into executive decisions and executable operating plans.
Experience with multi-site supply networks, manufacturing-footprint decisions, site transfers, product launches and ramps, capacity strategy, and resiliency planning.
Strong financial and business acumen, including the ability to translate operational constraints and scenarios into revenue, inventory, investment, service, and risk implications.
Working knowledge of ERP/MRP, master scheduling, capacity planning, inventory strategy, and planning analytics.
Experience building teams, operating systems, governance, and standard work in a high-growth or transformation environment.

Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end Data Solutions SIOP/IBP operating model, including Program/Product Review, Demand Review, Supply and Capacity Review, financial reconciliation, Executive SIOP, and governance connecting SIOP to near-term SIOE execution.
Establish an integrated business plan covering demand, supply, capacity, inventory, materials, customer priorities, and financial expectations, with documented assumptions, gaps, scenarios, trade-offs, decisions, and ownership.
Lead and develop the SIOP organization and functional capability, including demand planning, supply and capacity planning, analytics, and integration resources as assigned.
Govern scenario planning and executive trade-offs when demand exceeds capability, capacity is not positioned appropriately, material lead times create exposure, or customer and program priorities compete.
Connect the 12–18 month planning roadmap to the MPS and execution model through defined horizons, time fences, decision rights, assumptions, and escalation paths.
Mature rough-cut capacity planning into a sustainable, multi-site capability that supports labor, equipment, sourcing, investment, and network decisions.
Own strategic supply-network design, including footprint optimization, manufacturing-location strategy, capacity placement, redundancy and resiliency options, inter-site dependencies, and longer-term continuity trade-offs.
Lead supply-chain integration for new manufacturing capability and major site-to-site transitions, aligning planning parameters, material strategy, procurement readiness, inventory transitions, ERP/master data, capacity, quality interfaces, and operational handoffs.
Create lifecycle governance for non-steady-state work such as product launches, site transfers, manufacturing redundancy, major product changes, and end-of-life transitions, while protecting standard teams from excessive project workload.
Establish readiness gates, control points, scorecards, and executive visibility for network changes so risks surface early and ownership is clear before transition into steady-state execution.
Partner with Operations, Sourcing, Procurement, Sales, Product Management, Program Management, Finance, and site leadership to turn SIOP decisions into executable capacity, material, inventory, and network actions.
Drive planning-process transformation, standard work, data governance, decision rights, talent development, digital and analytics adoption, and continuous improvement across the planning ecosystem.
