Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean or similar methodologies to improve efficiency, service levels, and cost performance
Partner with leadership to shape inventory investment strategy and balance growth, profitability, and customer experience
Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing planning and inventory team
Create a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement
Provide clear goals, regular feedback, and development opportunities to elevate team performance
Build strong cross-functional relationships to promote transparency, alignment, and effective execution

Basic Qualifications

Experience in supply chain, inventory planning, operations, or related fields, with increasing leadership responsibility
Proven experience leading planning and inventory functions in a complex, fast-paced environment
Strong track record of improving forecast accuracy, inventory turns, and service levels
Experience implementing or optimizing planning systems (ERP, demand planning, or advanced planning tools)
Demonstrated ability to build, lead, and scale high-performing teams
Advanced analytical skills with the ability to translate data into strategic insights and decisions
Strong cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management capabilities
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and manage competing priorities
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence at multiple levels of the organization

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in high-growth or evolving business environments
Experience leading transformation of planning systems, tools, and processes
Experience building scalable, integrated planning frameworks that align demand, supply, and financial plans
