Job summary

Beehive Industries is seeking a Supply Planner to own supply continuity for critical buy components, including parts with multi-sourcing, long lead times, and allocation constraints. You will manage manual planning logic where automation falls short and work with procurement to optimize sourcing across suppliers.

The role requires 8+ years in supply planning, a relevant degree, and the ability to obtain a U.S. government security clearance.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in supply planning or related roles in a manufacturing environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or related field.
• Experience managing complex multi-source sourcing and allocation-constrained parts.
• Working knowledge of MRP/ERP systems (ION, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite or similar).
• Strong Excel skills for building and maintaining manual tracking tools.
• Ability to prioritize under ambiguity and communicate supply risk.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. Citizenship is required, as only U.S. Citizens eligible for a security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end supply planning for a defined set of critical buy components, including parts with complex sourcing splits across multiple suppliers.
• Build and maintain manual planning logic (spreadsheets, planning worksheets, or system workarounds) for parts that can't be fully automated in the MRP/ERP system due to split sourcing, allocation rules, or non-standard replenishment logic.
• Work with procurement to manage multi-source part splits - determining and adjusting sourcing percentages or sequencing across suppliers based on capacity, cost, lead time, and risk.
• Maintain accurate, current planning parameters (lead times, min/max, safety stock, sourcing splits) in the ERP system to keep planning parameters aligned with real-world supplier behavior.
• Run and reconcile weekly/daily supply signals (MRP exceptions, action messages) for the assigned commodity set, resolving conflicts where system logic and manual management diverge.
• Build and present shortage risk reports and part-level supply status to production, planning leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Support S&OP supply review with input on constrained or at-risk critical buy parts.
• Continuously identify opportunities to convert manually-managed parts into system-supported planning logic as processes mature.
