What you will be working on

Lead Component Supply Planning

• Own end-to-end supply planning for component categories across the value chain.
• Translate demand forecasts into executable supply and capacity plans that support business priorities.
• Govern MRP processes and planning parameters to ensure demand is accurately converted into material requirements.
• Continuously improve planning effectiveness, execution reliability, and supply responsiveness.

Drive Supplier Capacity and Supply Readiness

• Develop and manage supplier scheduling agreements, forecast commitments, and capacity planning frameworks.
• Monitor supplier capacity against evolving short-, mid-, and long-term demand requirements.
• Lead capacity allocation and prioritization decisions during constrained supply situations.
• Drive level-loading strategies that improve supplier stability and long-term performance.

Align Demand and Supply

• Develop time-phased supply plans that ensure material availability while supporting operational objectives.
• Partner closely with Demand Planning to align forecasts with supply capabilities.
• Translate demand shifts, product ramps, and lifecycle transitions into proactive supply actions.
• Support new product introductions and engineering changes through effective supply planning and scenario management.

Strengthen Inventory and Risk Management

• Collaborate with Inventory Planning to optimize stock policies, inventory health, and working capital.
• Monitor shortages, excess inventory, and obsolescence risks, driving actions to improve outcomes.
• Assess supply chain risks including demand variability, supply disruptions, and lead-time volatility.
• Develop mitigation strategies that support supply continuity and business resilience.

Enable Strategic Supply Decisions

• Lead risk-buy and buffering decisions in partnership with Sourcing and Change Management stakeholders.
• Evaluate supply scenarios and recommend actions that balance availability, risk, and inventory exposure.
• Track and improve key supply chain performance metrics, including material availability and supplier delivery performance.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using planning systems, analytics, and best practices.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Engineering, Business, Operations Management, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in supply planning, material planning, supply chain management, or operations within a complex manufacturing environment.
• Strong expertise in MRP, supply planning, inventory management, and supplier capacity planning.
• Proven experience translating demand forecasts into actionable supply strategies.
• Experience managing supply constraints and working closely with external suppliers.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision-making.
• Ability to influence and collaborate effectively across planning, sourcing, operations, and manufacturing teams.
• Experience working with ERP and advanced supply planning systems.

What sets you apart

• Experience within the semiconductor, electronics, or other high-tech manufacturing industries.
• Knowledge of semiconductor supply chains, long lead-time components, and capacity-driven planning environments.
• Experience with Kinaxis or similar advanced planning platforms.
• Experience supporting new product introductions, engineering change management, and lifecycle transitions.
• APICS CPIM, CSCP, or equivalent supply chain certification.
• Track record of driving planning excellence, process improvements, or supply chain transformation initiatives.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with experience operating in global and matrixed organizations.
