• Quality at Every Step - From manufacturing and quality control to packaging and distribution, we oversee every stage of the process to ensure product integrity, performance, and reliability.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Supply & Materials Planning Manager to lead material planning, inventory optimization, and operational procurement across Briotech’s manufacturing operations. This role translates demand forecasts and business priorities into actionable supply and inventory plans, ensuring the right materials are available at the right time to support production and customer commitments.

The Supply & Materials Planning Manager will own forward-looking material requirements, inventory targets, supplier planning, and supply-risk management while balancing service levels, cost, working capital, supplier constraints, and storage capacity. This role will manage the Inventory Operations Coordinator and partner closely with Production Planning, Fulfillment, Engineering, PMO, Marketing, Quality, and Finance to build a more proactive and scalable supply planning function.

Core Responsibilities

Supply & Materials Planning

• Translate approved demand forecasts and business priorities into finished goods plans, material requirements, replenishment plans, and inventory targets.
• Develop forward-looking supply plans for finished goods, raw materials, and packaging components, balancing demand, inventory levels, supplier constraints, production capacity, and storage capacity.
• Monitor material availability, days of supply, safety stock, lead times, and other planning inputs to proactively identify shortages, excess inventory, and supply risks.
• Partner with Production Planning to ensure material availability supports production schedules and anticipated capacity requirements.

Inventory & Procurement

• Own inventory optimization across raw materials, components, and finished goods, including inventory targets, reorder parameters, and excess or obsolete inventory.
• Oversee inventory accuracy, reconciliation, and production consumption reporting in partnership with Inventory Operations and Warehouse & Fulfillment.
• Determine purchasing requirements based on demand, inventory position, production needs, supplier lead times, and MOQs.
• Oversee purchase order execution and tracking while managing supplier forecasts, lead times, delivery performance, and capacity constraints.
• Manage material shortages, expedites, and supply recovery plans and support supplier negotiations, contracts, and performance management.
• Maintain accurate planning and inventory master data, including lead times, safety stock, reorder parameters, MOQs, bills of material, and other inputs that support reliable planning and purchasing decisions.
• Develop reporting and KPIs that provide visibility into inventory health, material availability, supplier performance, and supply risk.
• Evaluate supply constraints and develop data-driven tradeoff recommendations when planned demand cannot be met.
• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, PMO, Production Planning, Fulfillment, Quality, Engineering, and Finance to align supply with business requirements and support new product launches, packaging changes, and product transitions.
• Partner with Packaging Engineering to improve primary and secondary packaging configurations in support of cost reduction, material efficiency, production throughput, and supply continuity.
• Lead, coach, and develop operations team members, setting clear expectations for safety, quality, productivity, and customer service.
• Build and maintain onboarding, training, and cross-training practices to support flexible staffing and peak-volume readiness.
• Manage attendance and performance consistently and partner with leadership and HR on staffing and employee development needs.
• Foster a collaborative, accountable team environment focused on continuous improvement and strong execution.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in supply planning, materials planning, inventory management, procurement, supply chain, or manufacturing operations.
• Demonstrated experience translating demand forecasts into material, inventory, and purchasing requirements within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of inventory planning, replenishment, supplier lead times, MOQs, purchasing, and supply constraints.
• Experience working with ERP, MRP, inventory management, or similar business systems.
• Strong analytical and Excel skills with the ability to evaluate supply risks, inventory trends, and operational tradeoffs.
• Demonstrated ability to improve planning processes and collaborate effectively across Operations, Production, Quality, and other cross-functional teams.
• Experience in regulated manufacturing, consumer products, personal care, healthcare, chemical, or related industries preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience considered.
