Sr. Systems Manager: Planning

Job Description Imagine helping build the systems and planning capabilities behind a new U.S. manufacturing operation. As our Senior Systems Specialist, you’ll connect manufacturing planning, technology, and data to help Production Planning deliver feasible, reliable plans as our Virginia manufacturing site continues its startup and ramp-up.

About the Role As our Senior Systems Specialist, you’ll serve as a key systems expert within Production Planning & Control, supporting Production Planning, Shop Floor Planning, Materials Planning, and Import/Export business functions. You’ll help lead the implementation of the systems and tools that enable our teams to balance demand against manufacturing capacity, including machine time, labor, and material constraints. Working closely with local planning teams, global specialists, Product Development, and IT development teams, you’ll translate operational needs into effective system solutions.

You’ll contribute to new system implementations and upgrades, strengthen master data and reporting capabilities, develop user expertise, troubleshoot complex system and data issues, and help establish scalable planning processes as our Virginia manufacturing operation grows. During your first year, you’ll play an important role in initializing and establishing the site's planning tools, including supporting the implementation of SAP HANA and Kinaxis as part of the factory startup.
