Accountabilities:: Own the monthly S&OP cycle from demand forecasting through supply planning, reconciliation, and business alignment around a single trusted forecast. Build and maintain demand forecasts by SKU and channel, incorporating promotional activity, subscription trends, and new product launches. Translate demand forecasts into supply and purchasing plans across the co-manufacturing network, identifying capacity constraints and lead-time risks before they impact availability. Establish and manage inventory targets and turns, balancing customer service levels with working capital requirements. Develop reporting and planning tools that provide clear visibility into forecast accuracy, inventory health, supply risk, and overall planning performance. Partner with Purchasing and Logistics to translate supply plans into purchase orders and inbound schedules that support reliable, on-time delivery. Identify potential out-of-stock risks early and coordinate with Marketing, Fulfillment, and Customer Care to develop mitigation plans. Establish consistent planning processes, metrics, and reporting routines as the S&OP function continues to mature. Provide cross-functional stakeholders and leadership with clear, data-driven recommendations to support supply, inventory, and demand decisions. Build visibility into current demand and supply data, forecast history, SKU-level planning, and open stockout risks during the initial onboarding period. Establish a consistent monthly S&OP cadence and documented planning process within the first 90 days. Requirements: 5+ years of experience in demand planning, supply planning, or S&OP, ideally within food, consumer packaged goods, or a direct-to-consumer subscription environment. Proven experience building or managing an S&OP process, rather than simply participating in an established process. Strong Excel and financial or operational modeling skills, with the ability to independently build and maintain demand forecasts. Experience planning across multiple facilities or a co-manufacturing network, including managing capacity constraints, lead times, and supply risks. Strong understanding of inventory planning, service levels, working capital, forecast accuracy, fill rates, and inventory turns. Highly analytical and comfortable using data to identify trends, evaluate trade-offs, and support operational decisions. Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the confidence to communicate data-driven recommendations when business priorities compete. Proven ability to identify risks early, communicate them clearly, and coordinate mitigation before they affect customers. Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage recurring planning cycles, multiple stakeholders, and competing priorities. Comfortable operating with significant autonomy in a fast-growing environment where processes are still being established and improved. Demonstrated ability to establish measurable goals and deliver against performance plans and defined 30/60/90-day objectives. Benefits: Primarily remote position based in the United States. Quarterly opportunities to come together in person with the broader team. Opportunity to play a foundational role in building and maturing a formal S&OP function. High-impact position with visibility across supply chain, finance, marketing, operations, and product-related teams. Significant autonomy and ownership within a fast-growing direct-to-consumer environment. Opportunity to help scale planning operations alongside significant business growth.
