Production Planner
Job Details:
Production Planner
Be the brain behind the build.
If you love seeing the full picture—demand coming in, production humming, customers happy—this role puts you right in the driver’s seat. As a Production Supply Planner , you’ll own the rhythm of production for a key business unit, turning forecasts into executable plans and chaos into clean schedules.
This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where your decisions directly impact customer delivery, inventory health, and operational efficiency. You won’t sit in a silo—you’ll collaborate daily with Manufacturing, Procurement, Customer Service, Quality, Sales, and Supply Chain to keep products flowing and customers satisfied.
Why This Role Stands Out
You own the master production schedule —not just maintaining it, but actively improving how the business runs
You’re the connector between demand, materials, and capacity
Your work directly influences customer service levels, inventory strategy, and operational efficiency
Fast-paced, problem-solving environment where smart planning makes a visible impact
Ideal for someone who thrives on data, collaboration, and real-world execution
What You’ll Be Doing
Build and manage production schedules using MRP and ERP tools
Identify material needs, shortages, and supply risks before they become problems
Partner with Manufacturing to balance capacity, efficiency, and demand
Coordinate daily, weekly, and long-term planning across cross-functional teams
Work closely with Procurement, subcontractors, and external partners to ensure materials are ready when needed
Respond to demand changes, prioritize production, and minimize out-of-stocks
Support product launches, promotions, and transitions with proactive planning
Track KPIs, analyze performance vs. plan, and recommend corrective actions
Release, manage, and close production orders while maintaining accurate planning parameters
What Success Looks Like
Customers get what they need, when they need it
Production runs smoothly within capacity and material constraints
Inventory is balanced—not bloated, not bare
Cross-functional teams trust your numbers and your judgment
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
3+ years of experience in a CPG manufacturing environment
Strong hands-on experience with MRP, ERP systems, and BOMs
Advanced Excel skills—you’re comfortable living in data
Analytical, detail-oriented, and highly organized
Confident communicator who works well across teams
Someone who enjoys solving problems before they hit the shop floor
What’s In It for You
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
Free life and disability insurance
401(k) with company match and annual discretionary contribution
Paid vacation, holidays, and sick time
Paid parental leave
Education assistance for degrees and certifications
Employee discounts, wellness perks, and on-demand pay
Cash referral bonuses
Access to thousands of free professional development courses
Please send a current copy of your resume with work history to [email protected] for consideration. All communications are 100% confidential.
