ABOUT THE JOB
Anduril’s Sentry Planning team is seeking a Manager of Demand & Supply Planning to join our team. The Planning team is responsible for planning material and builds to support rapidly iterating and building of cutting-edge defense hardware, including static equipment, mobile ground equipment, and flight vehicles. The Manager of Demand & Supply Planning will manage a team of Demand & Supply Planners in executing S&OP and providing in-depth analysis for our business partners. They will ultimately be responsible for sending the correct signals to Purchasing and Manufacturing on what and when to buy or build for each of the supported product lines. The addition of this role is pivotal in transforming our Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process, empowering our operations to not only meet but exceed our financial objectives. This strategic hire will be instrumental in driving operational excellence and enhancing our ability to forecast, plan, and execute with greater precision and efficiency.
The right person for this role has demonstrated ownership and experience solving complex operational challenges with creative solutions in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment. This person will be flexible to provide support wherever needed to ensure products are built and shipped under stringent quality standards. If you are someone who thrives in such an environment, then this role is for you!
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the outcome of the S&OP process for assigned products.
- Evaluate and hold the S&OP plan against Annual and Quarterly Operating commitments and shipping requirements: identify where the plan is drifting, quantify the gap in units, dollars, and dates, and bring options to close it rather than reporting the variance after the fact.
- Articulate risk to the plan with a clear point of view and mitigation options: what is at-risk, what is the cost of doing nothing, what are the options, what decision is needed, and by who and when.
- Lead, coach, and grow a team of Demand & Supply Planners while staying hands-on yourself; regularly conduct 1:1s focused on growth and steering. Provide actionable, real-time feedback and design clear career paths for both junior and senior planners.
