About the Role

Are you looking for a professional supply and inventory management role with a great work-life balance? Do you enjoy going above and beyond while providing business-to-business support and working across numerous departments?

Start your career path in a stable industry with a nationally known company that focuses on your success and advancement. This Fortune 500 company is rapidly growing and reimagining the chemical distribution industry. They pride themselves on their ability to be an ally to their customers and suppliers while helping them anticipate, navigate, and leverage meaningful growth opportunities.

Why this role matters

As our Supply Planner, you’ll own inventory planning and procurement for your assigned portfolio of SKUs. You’ll balance competing priorities like service levels, inventory targets, forecast accuracy, and safety stock, and make the calls that keep our network running efficiently. You’ll partner closely with Sales, Operations, Transportation, Product Marketing, and key suppliers, so your work will be seen and felt across the business.

• Plan proactively. Use MRP and other planning tools to review inventory projections and supply-demand summaries, catching shortages, excess inventory, and demurrage risks early.
• Solve supply challenges. Act as the key liaison for supply issues, use exception reports to flag potential out-of-stocks, and recommend practical mitigations.
• Buy smarter. Assess purchasing options, consolidate products into optimized loads, and pre-order strategically to reduce costs.
• Keep data clean. Ensure purchase order accuracy so Sales, Operations, and Transportation teams can rely on it.
• Shape inventory strategy. Monitor inventory levels, recommend parameter changes, and work with Product Marketing on overall supply direction.
• Manage supplier relationships. Lead business and performance reviews with key suppliers as needed.
• Measure what matters. Track and reconcile weekly and monthly metrics against targets, and help meet regional performance goals.
• Make things better. Find new ways to improve supply planning processes using the tools we already have.

• Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, charts, and data manipulation (required)
• Sharp analytical skills and close attention to detail
• A process-improvement mindset and the ability to perform root cause analysis
• A bachelor’s degree in Business, Mathematics, Supply Chain/Operations, Finance, or a related field (preferred)
• SAP experience (preferred)
• Experience with integrated planning software (a big plus)

Compensation

• $55,000 – $60,000 annual salary
• Hybrid Schedule available (3 days in office/2 days work from home)
