Résumé du poste

Johnson & Johnson seeks a Senior Director to lead Planning Systems & Processes. You will set strategy, manage the multi-year roadmap, and drive the transition to unified planning platforms across global operations, ensuring seamless separation and post-separation readiness.

Strong leadership and deep APS/ERP expertise are required. The role demands exceptional communication, broad stakeholder alignment, and accountability for delivering measurable business value across Supply Chain planning

Qualifications

• Required Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, Information Systems, Data/Analytics, or related discipline.
• Typically 15 or more years of progressive experience in complex global supply chain, planning, digital, technology, or business transformation environments, including substantial leadership accountability.
• Demonstrated success leading enterprise-scale APS and ERP transformation, process standardization, business separation, carve-out, integration, or comparable high-complexity programs.
• Deep knowledge of advanced planning concepts and end-to-end processes, including demand, supply, inventory, distribution, production, capacity, scenario, and integrated business planning.
• Proven ability to build business cases, govern large portfolios, influence investment decisions, manage implementation partners, and deliver measurable business value.
• Demonstrated expertise in global process ownership, operating-model design, master data governance, solution design, testing, deployment, change leadership, and adoption.
• Experience operating in a highly matrixed, global, and regulated environment.
• Exceptional executive communication, stakeholder management, decision-making, and organizational leadership skills, with the ability to align diverse functions around enterprise standards and outcomes.

Responsabilités

• Set and own the multi-year global strategy, target architecture, investment roadmap, and value case for Planning Systems & Processes, aligned with the DPS business and Supply Chain strategies.
• Lead the business selection, design, implementation, and adoption of a single enterprise APS, ensuring demand, supply, inventory, distribution, capacity, scenario-planning, exception-management, and analytics capabilities support the future operating model.
• Partner with ERP leadership to define planning requirements and sequence the transition to one ERP, ensuring APS and ERP design decisions, master data, interfaces, controls, and deployment waves operate as an integrated end-to-end solution.
• Provide executive business leadership for Company Separation across all core planning systems and business-developed applications; own readiness criteria, risk escalation, contingency planning, cutover governance, and business sign-off for Day 1 and subsequent transition milestones.
• Establish global process ownership and governance for demand planning, supply planning, production planning, distribution requirements planning, inventory planning, capacity planning, and associated planning master data.
• Standardize, simplify, and document end-to-end planning processes across platforms, regions, markets, and sites, resolving local deviations and control gaps that would prevent successful migration to one APS and one ERP.
• Chair cross-functional design and governance forums that align Planning, Commercial, Finance, Operations, Source, Quality, Digital, IT, and data teams on enterprise requirements, design principles, priorities, decisions, and accountabilities.
• Own the integrated transformation portfolio, including scope, milestones, dependencies, resources, budget recommendations, benefits, risks, organizational readiness, and executive communications.
• Define the Planning data and integration strategy, including data ownership, hierarchy standards, planning parameters, data quality controls, interface requirements, and a single source of truth for decision-making.
• Ensure robust business process design, validation, user acceptance testing, training, cutover, hypercare, and adoption; establish measurable controls that protect service, inventory, and operational continuity during separation and deployment.
• Translate future-state processes into business requirements and product backlogs; make enterprise trade-off decisions and prevent unnecessary customization that undermines scalability, controls, or the target architecture.
• Drive digital enablement, advanced analytics, automation, and responsible AI use cases that reduce manual work, improve scenario planning, enable exception-based management, and advance the journey toward autonomous planning.
• Establish a sustainable post-separation product and support model, including decision rights, service levels, release management, enhancement prioritization, vendor governance, cybersecurity, access controls, and regulatory compliance.
• Build, lead, and develop a global team of process owners, product owners, program leaders, and system experts; define capability requirements, succession plans, and strategic workforce and partner models.
• Manage strategic relationships with technology vendors and implementation partners, holding them accountable for solution quality, delivery, knowledge transfer, and business outcomes.
• Benchmark external leading practices and represent Global Planning in enterprise transformation forums, translating relevant innovations into practical roadmaps and approved investments.
