Supply Planner III, Sentry

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

Anduril's Sentry Planning team is looking for a Supply Planner to own the supply and production strategy for a set of complex hardware assemblies and product lines.

Responsibilities

• Lead Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) discussions for Supply Planning on designated product lines.
• Work with Demand Planning and Production Program Management partners to align production throughput and build plans with actual demand plans.
• Own the end-to-end supply and production plan for assigned assemblies and product lines, translating volatile, incomplete, and sometimes conflicting demand signals into a firm supply plan.
• Set the inventory strategy and production plan for your scope, including safety stock, lead time offsets, production throughput, and proposing weekly production work orders.
• Sequence the build schedule and allocate constrained material across programs when supply can't cover all build signals.
• Protect Annual Planning commitments and customer ship dates. Pressure-test requests that put them at risk, and escalate early with options.
• Drive recovery with cross-functional partners when supply breaks. Partner with Material Planning and Purchasing to expedite, de-expedite, or re-source; work with Engineering on substitutions and change timing; keep Manufacturing Engineering and Production partners current on what's moving and when.
• Report on supply and material health in a way that forces decisions rather than describing status, covering coverage, risk, aging, and excess, along with your recommendation on each.

• 3+ years of experience in a supply chain or production role within a fast-paced manufacturing environment dealing with complex assemblies.
• Complete ownership of a complex value chain, coordinating between multiple, high volume of departments and teams to ensure on-time deliveries and adherence to quality standards.
• Strong analytical capabilities - create and analyze complex models that automate the identification of any supply shortfalls.
• Proactive, able to take substantial responsibility across various functions, with a focus on speed and accuracy.
• Experience with ERP systems such as Oracle, NetSuite, and CRM systems like Salesforce.
• Strong experience with Slack/Teams and Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel.

• Experience with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, six sigma principles, and big data evaluation techniques.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
