About The Position

The SIOP Leader develops and maintains a single, credible operating plan that aligns demand, supply, inventory, capacity, and financial objectives. The role acts as a cross-functional integrator connecting Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and leadership to promote alignment, transparency, and informed decision-making. It is a high-impact individual contributor position with significant leadership responsibility and accountability for the SIOP process and its outcomes. The position leads the monthly SIOP cycle, including Demand Review, Supply Review, Pre-SIOP, and Executive SIOP, and ensures each phase produces decision-ready outputs and defined actions. The leader maintains a rolling 3- to 12-month integrated operating plan, validates demand and supply plan feasibility, and drives trade-off decisions across service, cost, capacity, and working capital. The role provides end-to-end visibility into finished goods, work-in-process, and raw material inventory; identifies inventory risks, imbalances, and opportunities; and drives insights on inventory turns, working capital, aging, excess, and obsolescence. It tracks performance indicators, leads root-cause analysis of plan gaps, drives corrective actions and continuous improvement, and prepares and delivers executive SIOP materials that clearly communicate risks, opportunities, alternatives, and decisions required.
