Job DetailsStarco Brands is seeking an experienced, high-ownership Demand & Supply Planning Manager to lead our end-to-end demand forecasting, production planning, and inventory deployment across our warehouse and contract manufacturing network.
This role serves as the operational engine behind our Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. You will bridge the gap between sales demand and supply execution—managing MRP in NetSuite, optimizing inventory turnover, co-man manufacturing schedules, and materials availability. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced CPG environment, brings strong analytical rigor, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves to solve complex supply chain puzzles.
Key Responsibilities
S&OP Ownership: Lead the cross-functional S&OP cadence alongside Sales, Marketing, eCommerce, Operations, and Finance to drive consensus forecasts and clear risk/opportunity visibility.
Production & Copacker Planning: Develop accurate, actionable production plans across our co-manufacturing network to ensure on-time, in-full (OTIF) product availability.
MRP & NetSuite System Management: Own and maintain MRP functions in NetSuite. Manage master data, item setups, safety stock levels, and reorder points to ensure real-time accuracy.
Inventory Deployment & Optimization: Oversee multi-node warehouse inventory deployment across 3PL partners to optimize fill rates while minimizing freight transfers and carrying costs.
Materials & Purchasing Alignment: Partner closely with Procurement/Buyers to align raw material and packaging requirements with upcoming production schedules.
Analytics & KPI Tracking: Establish, track, and present core operational metrics, including Forecast Accuracy, WAPE, Inventory Turns, Schedule Attainment, and OOS tracking.
Process Improvement: Continuously refine forecasting models, inventory policies, and operational workflows as the business scales.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Analytics, or related field.
Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in demand planning, supply planning, or inventory management within the Consumer Packed Goods (CPG), Food & Beverage, or Personal Care industries.
ERP Proficiency: Solid working knowledge of NetSuite (specifically NetSuite Demand/Supply Planning and MRP modules) or equivalent enterprise ERP systems.
Advanced Analytics: Advanced MS Excel capabilities (e.g., complex data modeling, dynamic formulas, XLOOKUP, PivotTables, scenario building).
Cross-Functional Communication: Demonstrated capability to communicate complex supply chain constraints to non-ops stakeholders cleanly and decisively.
Certifications (Preferred): APICS/ASCM (CPIM, CSCP) is a strong plus.
