  • Monitor production progress and communicate schedule updates, risks, and critical path issues to stakeholders in a timely manner
  • Drive continuous improvement in planning processes to enhance efficiency and execution

Qualifications:

Education:

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Experience:

  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for planning, scheduling, and data analysis

Soft Skills:

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured, data-driven approach
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams and influence alignment
  • Clear and concise communication skills, including the ability to brief leadership on production status and risks
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy in scheduling and production data

Technology Stack:

  • ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent)
  • Microsoft Excel (advanced: pivot tables, scheduling, data analysis)
  • Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint)
  • Project or production tracking tools (Jira, Smartsheet, or similar)
