Full Job Description

The Impact You'll Make

Ready to be at the heart of our manufacturing success?

Danfoss is seeking a strategic and proactive Operations Planner for our Ames, Iowa facility. This pivotal role is the crucial link between customer demand and our operational execution. You will be empowered to look ahead, anticipate needs, and create dynamic production plans that ensure we delight our customers while achieving key business goals. If you thrive on making independent decisions and orchestrating complex plans, this is your opportunity to make a significant impact.

Your Mission

As our Operations Planner, your primary focus will be on the future. You will take ownership of the production schedule for the next 1-5 weeks, ensuring a realistic and efficient plan is in place. By monitoring forecasts, collaborating with the supply chain, and understanding our manufacturing capabilities, you will have the autonomy to make critical judgments that drive our business forward and ensure exceptional performance.

What You’ll Be Doing

Strategic Production Planning: Develop and manage production plans that balance customer demand, operational capacity, and material availability to meet ambitious targets for on-time delivery, inventory levels, and productivity.
Demand & Forecast Management: Actively participate in monthly Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) meetings. Analyze sales forecasts, identify and correct discrepancies, and perform Available-to-Promise (ATP) checks to ensure reliable commitments to our customers.
Supply Chain Optimization: Be a key driver for efficiency. Work with operations to continuously improve lead times and manage material flows for new product introductions and localization projects.
Inventory Control: Implement and manage our inventory strategy using Plan For Every Part (PFEP) methodologies. You will define and maintain parameters within SAP to ensure we meet our inventory turn targets.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as a central communication hub. Manage the implementation schedule for engineering design changes and ensure all internal teams and external partners are aligned and informed.
Problem Solving: When manufacturing resources are constrained, you will take the lead on allocation management, making critical decisions to best serve our customers and the business.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

A strong decision-maker, capable of working with autonomy and discretion.
A proven problem-solver with a customer-first attitude.

Qualifications:

Currently pursuing or holding a bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, Operations Management, or a related field.
Experience with an ERP system is required; experience with SAP is highly preferred.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel.

What You'll Get from Us

We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.

You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.

We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.

You’ll receive benefits like an annual bonus, paid vacation, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If this role excites you, we’d love to hear from you! to start the conversation and learn more about where your career can go with us.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or other protected category.
