Who You Are:
You are a strategic, hands-on planning leader with deep experience in demand, supply, and materials planning within a fast-growth CPG environment. You have built or scaled a planning organization before and are equally comfortable developing long-term planning strategies and rolling up your sleeves to solve daily operational challenges. You bring strong analytical capability, financial acumen, and process excellence, paired with the agility and resourcefulness required in a small, rapidly evolving business. Known as a collaborative cross-functional partner, an effective communicator, and a proactive problem solver who thrives in ambiguity and leads teams through growth, change, and increasing complexity. Above all, you are a builder: of systems, processes, talent, and the future-state planning capability of the organization.
The Task At Hand:
The Director of Planning leads all demand, supply, and materials planning for a fast-growing company, building the processes, systems, and team capabilities required to support scale and operational excellence. This role owns the end-to-end planning cycle, integrating forecasts, production plans, material readiness, contracts, and supplier-managed inventory programs to ensure service, cost, and inventory targets are met. The Director drives cross-functional alignments across Sales, Marketing, Operations, Procurement, R&D, and Finance while overseeing a dynamic co-manufacturing and supplier network. In addition to managing daily execution, this leader builds scalable tools and processes, develops talent, leads risk and scenario planning, and shapes the long-range capacity and network strategy needed to support innovation and sustained growth.
