Overview

• As a Supply Planner, you'll help ensure we have the right product, in the right place, at the right time-while balancing service, inventory, capacity, and cost. This is an entry-level role where you'll learn how demand, production, procurement, logistics, and inventory decisions connect across the end-to-end supply chain.

This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, curious, and excited to build a career in supply chain planning.

3) Planning Cadence Support (S&OP / SIOP Inputs)

• Provide inputs to weekly/monthly planning meetings: supply risks, capacity gaps, inventory outlook.
