Senior Planner

Accountabilities:

• Own the monthly S&OP cycle from demand forecasting through supply planning, reconciliation, and business alignment around a single trusted forecast.
• Build and maintain demand forecasts by SKU and channel, incorporating promotional activity, subscription trends, and new product launches.
• Translate demand forecasts into supply and purchasing plans across the co-manufacturing network, identifying capacity constraints and lead-time risks before they impact availability.
• Establish and manage inventory targets and turns, balancing customer service levels with working capital requirements.
• Develop reporting and planning tools that provide clear visibility into forecast accuracy, inventory health, supply risk, and overall planning performance.
• Partner with Purchasing and Logistics to translate supply plans into purchase orders and inbound schedules that support reliable, on-time delivery.
• Identify potential out-of-stock risks early and coordinate with Marketing, Fulfillment, and Customer Care to develop mitigation plans.
• Establish consistent planning processes, metrics, and reporting routines as the S&OP function continues to mature.
• Provide cross-functional stakeholders and leadership with clear, data-driven recommendations to support supply, inventory, and demand decisions.
• Build visibility into current demand and supply data, forecast history, SKU-level planning, and open stockout risks during the initial onboarding period.
• Establish a consistent monthly S&OP cadence and documented planning process within the first 90 days.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in demand planning, supply planning, or S&OP, ideally within food, consumer packaged goods, or a direct-to-consumer subscription environment.
• Proven experience building or managing an S&OP process, rather than simply participating in an established process.
• Strong Excel and financial or operational modeling skills, with the ability to independently build and maintain demand forecasts.
• Experience planning across multiple facilities or a co-manufacturing network, including managing capacity constraints, lead times, and supply risks.
• Strong understanding of inventory planning, service levels, working capital, forecast accuracy, fill rates, and inventory turns.
• Highly analytical and comfortable using data to identify trends, evaluate trade-offs, and support operational decisions.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the confidence to communicate data-driven recommendations when business priorities compete.
• Proven ability to identify risks early, communicate them clearly, and coordinate mitigation before they affect customers.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage recurring planning cycles, multiple stakeholders, and competing priorities.
• Comfortable operating with significant autonomy in a fast-growing environment where processes are still being established and improved.
• Demonstrated ability to establish measurable goals and deliver against performance plans and defined 30/60/90-day objectives.

• Primarily remote position based in the United States.
• Quarterly opportunities to come together in person with the broader team.
