The Lead Materials Planner drives the creation and execution of regional and global forecasts in collaboration with sales and operations teams. They translate demand plans into physical orders, analyze incoming demand, and manage order exceptions while aligning with product rationalization strategies. By prioritizing delivery dates and optimizing order timelines, they balance customer requirements with inventory and shipping cost efficiencies.
The planner supports the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, ensuring consistency and integrating new assets, spare parts, and product lifecycle changes. They perform material management analyses—including statistical consumption, aged inventory, safety stock, and in‑transit material—and implement stocking strategies to maintain appropriate safety‑stock levels across regions and manufacturing plants.
Successful candidates hold a bachelor's degree in supply chain management or a related field and bring at least five years of experience in order management, inventory optimization, and asset utilization. Proficiency with SAP and MRP, strong stakeholder influence skills, and a strategic mindset paired with tactical execution are essential.
