• Partners with Supply Planning to help leadership understand planning, service, and operational performance.
• Leverages ERP, BI, and reporting tools to automate recurring analysis and support S&OP reviews.
• Tracks OTTP and OTTR performance, identifying product categories driving service-level gaps against target thresholds.
• Ensures warehouse and network performance analysis — on-time delivery, PO tracking, receiving timeliness — is timely, accurate, and actionable.
• Analyzes freight and logistics performance, including mode selection and cost variance, to identify cost-to-serve savings and premium-freight risk.
• Maintains data quality and validation across planning systems, flagging discrepancies affecting reporting accuracy.

People Leadership:

• Experience supporting formal S&OP or Integrated Business Planning (IBP) cycles preferred.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; comfortable operating as a connector across Sales, Finance, and Operations rather than working in a silo.
