The Supply Planning Specialist supports the execution of supply plans that translate demand forecasts into actionable production and purchasing plans. This role supports our expansion to include Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) and B2B channels primarily in the US and contributes to service, inventory, and cost objectives across the product lifecycle—from new product introduction through product phase-out. 

Working closely with cross-functional partners across Operations, Demand Planning, Procurement, QA/QC, and contract manufacturing partners, the Supply Planning Specialist helps ensure product availability while minimizing stockouts, excess inventory, and expiry risk.

• Support the development and maintenance of short and mid-term supply plans aligned to the approved demand forecast.
• Support the development of the production plans and purchase recommendations for finished goods, bulk materials, and key packaging components.
• Monitor capacity constraints, minimum order quantities (MOQs), and lead times across internal production, kitting, and co-manufacturers.
• Assist with plan adjustments to respond to demand changes, supply disruptions, and material shortages.
• Collaborate with Operations teams to support production prioritization, inbound planning, and allocation of incoming supply.
• Contribute to seasonal and promotional planning activities, including peak periods such as Q4, to support on-time product availability.
   

Inventory Management

• Monitor inventory levels at distribution centres (DCs) supporting US business to support service targets while minimizing excess, obsolescence, and expiry risk.
• Identify slow-moving, short-dated, and at-risk inventory and support mitigation recommendations.
• Maintain and validate SKU and BOM-level data to support accurate planning and master data integrity.
• Support safety stock reviews and parameter maintenance, including lead times and reorder points.
• Assist with materials supply planning and reorder point calculations in collaboration with the Demand Planning team.
   

Contract Manufacturing & Procurement Support

• Coordinate with contract manufacturing partners to confirm production schedules and material availability.
• Support purchase order planning and timing in collaboration with the Procurement team.
• Flag and escalate potential risks related to capacity, raw materials, or packaging constraints.
• Incorporate shelf life and expiry considerations into supply and inventory plans.
• Partner with QA/QC to understand holds, rework, and release timing that may impact available supply.
   

New Product Launches (NPD/NPI) 

• Support supply planning activities for new product launches, reformulations, and line extensions.
• Collaborate with Operations, Product, and contract manufacturing teams to support readiness for initial production runs.
• Assist with phase-in and phase-out planning to minimize inventory risk, write-offs, and supply gaps.
• Help track launch assumptions and ensure alignment between demand, supply, and inventory plans. 
   

Visibility, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate and timely supply data and planning signals within ERP and planning systems.
• Prepare and update regular reports related to supply readiness, inventory health, and plan adherence.
• Support data accuracy and master data maintenance to improve planning reliability.
• Identify opportunities to improve planning processes, tools, and ways of working, and support continuous improvement initiatives.

• Hands-on experience with ERP or planning systems and strong Excel skills.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify issues, assess options, and make sound recommendations.
