About the position

As a Supply Chain Planning Manager for Stanley, you will lead short- and long-term supply planning for our key product lines in the North America market. This role is crucial in supporting the management of the supply-demand balance for all global markets. You will oversee the operations of a team of supply planners, focusing on balancing inventory investment, service level, and revenue attainment goals. Your influence will extend to new product development launches and product transitions, requiring strong cross-functional engagement, people management, and development responsibilities. In this position, you will lead integrated supply planning activities across the organization, running Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) cycles. You will be responsible for reviewing, identifying, and mitigating any near-term and long-range imbalances of supply and demand through quantitative analysis and data-driven decision-making. Managing lead times and variability will be essential to ensure supply availability that meets and exceeds service, revenue, and profitability objectives. You will also review and mitigate constrained supply requirements within a horizontal supply chain to support cost, inventory, and service objectives. Creating, implementing, and monitoring supply planning KPIs will be part of your responsibilities, aimed at improving the inventory-to-sales ratio, turns, and fill rate to drive business improvements. Facilitating new product rollouts and coordinating product discontinuations with Commercial/Sales, Product Creation, and Supply Chain teams will be key tasks. Additionally, you will manage and develop the performance of your direct reports and team members through performance management, calibration, resource review and planning, capability, training, and development. Providing monthly and weekly production plans to factories and distribution/fulfillment partners will ensure that sales demand is met while adhering to partner requirements. You will drive continuous improvement in supply planning through network optimization using systems and tools such as Kinaxis, ensuring timely delivery of new products and replenishment orders by collaborating with Demand Planning to align capacity levels with the sales plan. Identifying areas of risk and opportunity for the business will be essential, as you work to reconcile supply with commercial and sales teams and communicate issues or opportunities as they arise.
