ERP/Oracle Transformation:

• Define and direct supply chain execution capabilities within the Oracle ERP system.
• Lead digital transformation initiatives in collaboration with IT.
• Evaluate and optimize ERP usage across planning operations (SAP experience considered; Oracle strongly preferred).

Team Development & Leadership:

• Directly manage a team of 3 functional leaders (9 total), with influence over 20+ matrixed team members.
• Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and certification through APICS/CPIM.
• Mentor and upskill team members, ensuring alignment with best practices.

Cross-functional Leadership:

• Partner with Engineering, Sourcing, and Operations to ensure planning alignment with product design and production needs.
• Act as a key voice in enterprise supply chain strategy and supplier engagement.

Operational Improvements:

• Lead planning improvements for a complex manufacturing environment, managing over 60,000 SKUs.
• Analyze demand trends, supply base risks, and capacity planning to support business growth.

Qualifications:

Required:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in global supply chain planning within manufacturing.

• Deep expertise in ERP systems, particularly Oracle (execution, deployment, customization).
• Strong background in inventory control and demand planning.
• Prior experience as a Master Planner .
• Active CPIM certification (APICS) required.
• Experience managing complex planning environments (e.g., 50,000+ part numbers).

Preferred:

• MBA or equivalent advanced degree.
• Experience leading supply chain functions across North American manufacturing sites.

Work Environment:

• In-office presence required at least 4 days/week (flexible based on performance).
• Travel up to 20% to U.S. and Canadian manufacturing sites.
• Will consider relocation assistance and visa sponsorship for highly qualified candidates.
