About The Opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Analytics to join our integrated business planning team. This role will be responsible for the strategy, design, and some execution of our integrated supply chain planning including demand planning, supply planning, master production scheduling (MPS), and Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning (SIOP). This leader pairs deep planning expertise with advanced analytics and a transformation mindset to connect a historically siloed, spreadsheet/ERP hybrid supply chain into one synchronized, data-driven operating system.

The Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Analytics will translate strategy and analytics into measurable results including lower inventory, higher on-time delivery, and a better customer experience. At the same time, the Director will build and scale the analytics and automation that make it happen. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone equally comfortable setting strategy, modeling data, building solutions (increasingly with AI), and bringing cross-functional teams along for the change.

Location: This role will primarily be remote and will travel about 25% of the time.
