The company built on breakthroughs.

Join us.

Corning is one of the world’s leading innovators in glass, ceramic, and materials science. From the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space, our technologies push the boundaries of what’s possible.

How do we do this? With our people. They break through limitations and expectations– not once in a career, but every day. They help move our company, and the world, forward.

At Corning, there are endless possibilities for making an impact. You can help connect the unconnected, drive the future of automobiles, transform at-home entertainment, and ensure the delivery of lifesaving medicines. And so much more.

Come break through with us.

Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

Role Purpose

The Integrated Business Planning (IBP) Administrator / Analyst supports the monthly IBP process, with primary responsibility for developing a clear, quantified, and well-supported demand plan. The role works directly with Commercial teams to understand customer demand, business drivers, timing, confidence, risks, and opportunities; translates those inputs into forecast data; and maintains the forecast.

This position owns the demand assumptions file and ensures that assumptions are documented, validated, current, and communicated effectively to Supply, Operations, and Finance. The role combines strong analytical capability with the business judgment and interpersonal skills needed to question inputs constructively, clarify uncertainty, and present a credible demand story.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate demand-planning activities within the monthly IBP cycle, including stakeholder interviews, data collection, review preparation, follow-up actions, and calendar support.
• Partner with Commercial stakeholders to understand demand drivers such as customer timing, opportunity status, probability, volume, revenue, market conditions, and planned commercial actions.
• Translate commercial inputs into a time-phased demand forecast and maintain accurate forecast records within the SharePoint S&OP site.
• Own and maintain the demand assumptions file, ensuring assumptions, risks, opportunities, rationale, timing, and follow-up actions are clearly documented and up to date.
• Validate forecast submissions for completeness, consistency, and reasonableness, while constructively challenging unsupported, outdated, or unclear assumptions and resolving discrepancies with stakeholders.
• Analyze prior-cycle changes, forecast accuracy, emerging trends, and key demand risks and opportunities to support informed planning decisions.
• Prepare and present demand insights during demand and supply reviews, while driving cross-functional alignment across Commercial, Supply, Operations, and Finance and supporting continuous improvement of IBP processes, tools, and data quality.

Education And Experience Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Finance, Economics, Analytics, or a related field—or experience in business analysis, demand planning, sales operations, supply chain planning, forecasting, or process coordination
• Strong Excel and data-analysis skills; experience maintaining structured data in SharePoint, ERP, planning, CRM, or similar business systems

Desired Skills

• Working knowledge of IBP, S&OP, demand planning, forecast accuracy, or supply‑chain concepts
• Experience analyzing and interpreting forecast data, identifying trends and inconsistencies, and converting qualitative commercial information into quantified assumptions

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.

The range for this position is $71,768.00 - $98,681.00 assuming full time status. Starting pay for the successful applicant is dependent on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education.
