Primary Purpose

The Manager, Supply Planning, leads an end-to-end team responsible for assigned brands and/or categories from purchase order creation through supplier management, delivery-change review, shipment execution and inbound receipt.

The successful individual will leverage their proficiency to...

• Lead and coach an end-to-end PO Management team, assigning clear brand/category ownership and ensuring balanced workload, backup coverage and consistent execution, building their capability to make sound day-to-day decisions with appropriate autonomy.

• Guide order prioritization and ship-mode recommendations based on business need, delivery risk, operational feasibility and available information.

• Own the outcomes, governance and control framework for end-to-end order execution, ensuring the team has clear standards, decision rights and escalation paths across the PO lifecycle.

• Lead root-cause analysis of recurring delivery and execution issues, working across suppliers and cross-functional teams (Supply Operations, Logistics, Brand/Buying teams and other stakeholders) to resolve exceptions, implement sustainable corrective actions and prevent repeat exceptions.

• Drive supplier operating discipline and performance through data-led, structured reviews that challenge recurring execution gaps, establish clear accountability and secure timely corrective actions.

• Use performance measures, dashboards and exception analytics to assess delivery and execution outcomes, identify systemic issues, prioritize intervention and drive measurable improvement in delivery and execution performance.

• Act as business owner for relevant system enhancements and process changes, including requirements definition, user acceptance testing, implementation support and adoption.

• Champion continuous improvement of the end-to-end operating model by removing unnecessary hand-offs, clarifying ownership and simplifying ways of working across Supply Planning, suppliers and cross-functional partners, including through AI and automation opportunities that strengthen controls, improve visibility and support future scalability.

• Support business continuity planning and ensure critical activities can be sustained during peak periods, absences or operational disruption.

• ·Undertake other responsibilities and projects assigned by management.

Leadership Expectations

• Set clear priorities and translate business objectives into practical team deliverables and operating routines.

• Coach team members to bring recommendations, own decisions and lead cross-functional follow-up rather than relying on manager intervention.

• Create a culture of ownership and accountability, with clear operating standards, documented procedures, effective cross-training and succession/backup plans.

• Provide timely feedback, recognize strong contributions and address capability or execution gaps constructively.

• Build an inclusive, collaborative team environment that supports learning, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

• Communicate complex issues clearly, including the business impact, options, trade-offs and recommended path forward.

The accomplished individual will possess...

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business Administration or a related discipline.

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in supply planning, order fulfilment, PO management, supply operations or a related supply-chain function, including people leadership or demonstrated team-lead responsibility.

• Strong understanding of end-to-end order execution, including PO creation and maintenance, supplier follow-up, delivery changes, shipment milestones and inbound issue resolution.

• Experience with SAP or another ERP platform; experience supporting system enhancements or user acceptance testing is an advantage.

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify risks, interpret operational data and convert insights into practical recommendations.

• Process-improvement mindset with an interest in automation, AI-enabled solutions and scalable controls.

• Effective stakeholder management and collaboration skills across functions, geographies and external Service Providers.

• Proven ability to coach, prioritize, delegate and build accountability within a team.
