DAY TO DAY:

Our client, a private equity backed large manufacturer with offices across the US is hiring a Director of Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning (SIOP) to lead their team. This role sits out of either: West Chester, PA, Franklin, TN, or Fort Worth, TX. It will be on a hybrid work from home schedule. Moreover, we are seeking an experienced Director who can "sit in the middle" of S&OP and will be working with finance, supply chain, business unit leaders, manufacturing, plants etc. We are looking for a hands on leader who build out processes from scratch, and this person will have the opportunity to set up SIOP processes and drive change. Right now a lot of processes in Supply Chain are manual and done in Excel, and the company is implementing new technologies and functions to help drive change. You will oversee Demand, Sales, Capacity, Supply, and Sourcing sides of the company in this role. This position has 4 people they will manage and will have 2 managers + to analysts in total.

Other points:

• High visibility to CEO and leadership
• Growth opportunities across the organization. IE the Leader of this team has moved from finance, to supply chain, to leading business units
• Putting in a demand planning tool- Atlas Planning, that will role out over the next few months. **Atlas experience would be great
