[Hiring] Senior Manager, Supply Chain Planning @Proper Voltage

Role Description

The Senior Manager, Supply Chain Planning builds and owns our sales and operations planning process: reconciling demand forecasts against contract manufacturer capacity, equipment throughput, and cell supply well ahead of when those constraints would otherwise surface as a shortage. This role reports to the Director of Supply Chain and works closely with sales, engineering, our contract manufacturers, and our cell supplier.

In the near term, this role also owns hands-on clear-to-build execution, the daily work of tracking material against the build plan, expediting suppliers, and keeping builds unblocked, while we build out the planning function.

We expect this to be a two-phase role. Today, you'll split time between building the S&OP process and running day-to-day execution. As volume grows, we plan to bring in a dedicated materials execution hire to take day-to-day clear-to-build off your plate, so you can focus fully on planning, forecasting, and the cross-functional forecast-versus-capacity rhythm.

Qualifications

• You have personally stood up an S&OP or demand-capacity planning process from scratch.
• You know how to get engineering, sales, and leadership into the same room on a recurring basis to reconcile demand against actual capacity.
• You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves on hands-on execution.
• You think in terms of constraints, not just demand.
• You are analytically strong and comfortable building your own models and tools in a resource-constrained environment.
• You are comfortable in early-stage environments where the playbook is still being written.

Requirements

• 7+ years in supply chain planning, S&OP, or demand planning in a hardware or industrial product environment.
• Direct, hands-on experience standing up an S&OP or demand-capacity planning process from scratch.
• Direct experience reconciling demand forecasts against manufacturing or supplier capacity constraints.
• Hands-on materials execution experience: purchase order management, supplier expediting, and build readiness tracking.
• Strong analytical and modeling skills; comfort building planning tools in Excel or similar.
• Demonstrated ability to run a cross-functional process that gets engineering, sales, and leadership aligned on a shared plan.

Benefits

• Base salary of $175,000 to $195,000, plus equity.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Flexible PTO with a generous holiday policy.
• Carlsbad, CA preferred. Open to fully remote for the right candidate. Occasional travel to contract manufacturers.
