Meta

Expiration Date

Until further notice

Requirements

4+ years of experience in Supply Planning roles, preferably in Consumer Electronics, with a thorough understanding of key modules and components (e.g., battery systems, optical assemblies, display stacks) and their impact on planning strategies across the product lifecycle
Experience leading or participating in S&OP and S&OE processes, including providing supply plan recommendations and constraint-based capacity inputs
Prior experience in scenario modeling and constrained optimization — ability to build models with large data sets, define objective functions and constraints, and leverage optimization solvers to drive supply chain decisions
Experience in NPI launch planning, including cross-functional coordination with Operations, Channel, and Sales teams to align supply readiness, channel fill strategies, and go-to-market timelines for successful product launches
Proficient in ERP systems (specifically related to planning, order management, allocation, and fulfillment)

Job Responsibility

Serve as the single point of contact for global supply planning and product availability for the products in their portfolio

Engage in the weekly S&OE process for assigned products, providing information to cross-functional teams to support supply and demand planning objectives
Develop weekly capacity/material constrained production plans (Build Plan/Master Production Schedule) to fulfill the requirements created in the Demand Plan. Formulate these as constrained optimization problems — defining objective functions (e.g., maximize fill rate, minimize total landed cost), decision variables (allocation quantities, line assignments, build sequences), and constraints (capacity limits, component lead times, MOQs, contractual commitments) — and leverage internal planning tools and solvers to arrive at optimized solutions
Accountable for creating, communicating, and monitoring detailed requested ship plans at the contract manufacturing sites (forecast, commitments, build plans, PO creation)
Understand multi-channel demand signals for the products in the assigned portfolios and provide actionable recommendations to respond to and adjust trends (e-commerce, retail, enterprise, non-revenue)
Accountable for the identification and resolution of supply issues, including assisting in sourcing materials, communication, escalation, and coordination of resolution
Develop and manage inbound priorities using constraint-based allocation logic to ensure critical path materials are sequenced for maximum production efficiency
