In this role, you will take full ownership of the Master Production Schedule (MPS) while partnering directly with plant leadership to build, refine, and optimize our overarching planning, scheduling, and S&OP/SIOP frameworks.

• S&OP / SIOP Integration: Actively participate in Sales & Operations Planning cycles, collaborating cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, Procurement, Production, and Customer Service to reconcile supply and demand.
• Capacity & Constraint Management: Analyze labor, machine, raw material, and supplier lead-time constraints to produce realistic, executable floor schedules.
• System & Process Optimization: Leverage ERP/MRP systems to manage material planning, inventory levels, and planning parameters, actively building out structured scheduling processes where needed.
• KPI Management: Track, report, and improve key operational metrics, including On-Time Delivery (OTD), Schedule Adherence, Inventory Turns, Forecast Accuracy, and Capacity Utilization.

QUALIFICATIONS & CRITICAL SKILLS
Required Experience & Education:

• Education: 4-year Bachelor’s Degree required.
• Industry Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience within manufacturing operations, supply chain, production planning, or scheduling.
• MPS Ownership: Proven, hands-on experience developing, managing, and executing a Master Production Schedule in a manufacturing setting.
• S&OP / SIOP: Demonstrated experience participating in cross-functional Sales & Operations Planning processes.
• ERP/MRP Proficiency: Deep expertise using enterprise ERP/MRP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics) alongside advanced Excel and data analytics skills.

Core Competencies:

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to "work in the gray" and build structure within a fast-paced, evolving manufacturing environment.
• Proven ability to communicate effectively, influence stakeholders, and align multi-departmental teams.

BENEFITS & PERKS

• Competitive Compensation: Base salary of $90K–$105K + 5% annual performance bonus.
• High-Impact Opportunity: Direct ownership in building and modernizing Master Scheduling systems.
• Career Trajectory: High visibility with plant and materials leadership, offering clear growth potential into broader management roles.
