Supply Chain Planning Manager | Demand & Supply Planning | Greenfield Build-Out on SAP IBP

- - , , .

You are the first planning hire for a greenfield manufacturing site standing up the supply chain behind a breakthrough nano-copper technology, scaling fast to meet demand from AI, electric vehicles, 5G, data centers, and semiconductors. This is a build, not a maintain. As the business grows across multiple US sites, the right person can grow into the planning leader for the whole network.

• Demand planning. Turn the commercial and product forecast into a credible supply plan.

• Rough-cut capacity planning, 2 to 3 years out, so the business sees and closes capacity gaps early.

• Master production scheduling (MPS) and raw material planning.

• Stand up lightweight sales and operations planning (S&OP) now, and help mature it as SAP IBP (integrated business planning) comes online.

• Manage and develop one Buyer/Planner, with room to build the team as the site scales.

• Around 5+ years of true demand and supply planning.

• Hands-on rough-cut capacity planning and master production scheduling.

• Comfort building from scratch in Excel, with no system to lean on yet.

• The rare mix of analytical horsepower and the people skills to influence the business.

• A genuine startup, roll-up-your-sleeves mentality, comfortable with ambiguity.

Industry is flexible. Planning skill matters more than sector.

• SAP IBP, advanced planning systems, or formal S&OP / IBP experience.

• Prior people leadership, or the clear desire to build and lead a team.

• Startup, greenfield, or transformation experience.

Excel today, planning built from scratch. SAP IBP rolling out, currently in pilot.

• Greenfield. You build the planning function, you do not inherit it.

• Early on a first-to-market technology with major capital behind it.

• A real path to multi-site planning leadership.

• Startup energy with the stability of a profitable public company.
