Champion Process Standardization: Partner with global Planning counterparts to understand successful operating models and adapt best practices for NA, fostering a unified North American planning culture.
Establish Key Performance Indicators: Define and track success metrics for long-term planning accuracy, including inventory health, capacity utilization, and forecast stability, establishing a performance-driven culture.

A Strategic Thinker: You can look past today's operational fires to solve tomorrow's structural problems.
Data-Driven & Analytical: You use logic to think critically through complex problems, exploring data to inform operational decision-making.
An Effective Communicator: You can distill complex supply chain risks into clear decision points for the Executive Team.
A Change Agent: You are comfortable driving process adoption in an environment transitioning from siloed operations to integrated planning.
Self-driven: You can take an ask and drive it to completion end-to-end without requiring continuous support along the way
Technically Savvy: You understand the architecture of planning systems (APS/ERP) and can articulate the difference between "infinite capacity" ERP views and "finite capacity" APS constraints.
