Senior Manager of Supply Planning
Fenton, MO
Salary - 130-140k + 401k Benefits,
There's a difference between managing supply chains and actually making an impact in one. If you're the kind of person who enjoys untangling complex supply puzzles, making things run smoother, and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo, keep reading.
We're looking for a Senior Manager of Supply Planning. If you're good at making supply chains tick like a Swiss watch while balancing cost, quality, and service, this might just be your next move.
What's the gig?

That means juggling capacities, constraints, and making sure inventory levels don't go haywire while keeping customers happy. You'll be working across multiple teams - Sales, Demand Planning, Manufacturing, Customer Service, and Procurement - to keep everything running smoothly.
What you'll actually do:
Develop near- and long-term supply plans for manufacturing facilities and distribution sites.

Work directly with plant scheduling functions to keep production and inventory levels in check.
Identify and flag supply constraints before they become real problems.
Develop alternative production and distribution strategies to prevent supply headaches.

Drive continuous improvement in supply planning processes.

B.S. in Business, Ops Management, or Supply Chain OR 5+ years of relevant experience.
Strong working knowledge of JDE or similar capacity modelling systems.
A sharp analytical mind with great organizational skills.
The ability to juggle multiple priorities without breaking a sweat.
Strong written and verbal communication skills - because supply planning doesn't happen in a vacuum.
A detail-oriented, self-starting mindset.
Ability to work cross-functionally and get teams rowing in the same direction.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel wizards welcome).
Willingness to travel to production facilities as needed (up to 20%).
Bonus points if you have:
Food industry experience.
Experience using JDE.
Familiarity with Tableau or similar data analysis tools.
Why join us? We make products people actually use - solid stables used everyday in most home around the country. We're growing, which means plenty of opportunities to make a real impact.
You'll work in a team that values getting things done over endless meetings. If you want to be a part of something where your expertise matters and your ideas get heard, this is the place.
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and help shape the future of supply planning, apply now.
