This role is uniquely positioned to build the future of our planning capabilities, translating complex demand, material, and capacity signals into reliable supply plans and customer commitments. Join us in Santa Clara, CA, and be part of a team that thrives on innovation and collaboration!

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead and develop the Planning TPM team. Hire, coach, and grow program leaders; establish clear ownership and accountability; and build a collaborative environment where people raise concerns early, challenge assumptions, and learn together.
• Own integrated program execution. Translate business priorities into roadmaps, resource plans, milestones, and delivery commitments. Manage dependencies across planning platforms and adjacent enterprise transformation programs, including SAP S/4HANA.
• Connect business processes and technology. Partners with planners, architects, and engineering teams to translate requirements into capabilities spanning demand prioritization, constrained supply planning, inventory, material and capacity constraints, allocation, and scenario analysis.
• Drive delivery through business adoption. Lead requirements alignment, design reviews, development, system integration testing, user acceptance testing, cutover, training, and post-launch stabilization. Establish explicit criteria for technical readiness, business activation, and transition to ongoing support.
• Improve planning speed and reliability. Coordinate improvements in data availability, integration quality, workload sequencing, system performance, and monitoring to shorten the planning cycle and reduce manual validation and workarounds.
• Make decisions and risks visible. Provide clear, accurate executive communication that distinguishes completed development, validated functionality, business approval, and realized outcomes. Surface tradeoffs with recommendations, accountable owners, and resolution dates.
• Deliver measurable business value. Partners with business owners to define and track planning cycle time, plan quality, commitment reliability, planner productivity, adoption, and production stability.
• Advance automation and AI-enabled planning. Identify practical opportunities to improve scenario evaluation, exception management, issue triage, and root-cause analysis, with clear measures of accuracy, usability, and business impact.
• Manage delivery capacity and partners. Align staffing, budgets, and implementation partners to priorities while maintaining quality, documentation, and governance throughout the program lifecycle.
