• Manage key supplier relationships and serve as a primary point of contact for vendors and stakeholders

• Develop and execute short- and long-term supply strategies based on forecasts and capacity

• Oversee inventory levels and replenishment plans to ensure product availability

• Own supply planning participation in S&OP and align planning with business goals

• Lead the adoption of planning technology tools and ensure process integration

• Represent the planning function in external and internal business meetings

• Collaborate with business management teams to define KPIs and improve performance

Category Manager Requirements:

• 3–5 years of experience in supply planning or category management

• Proven experience managing the end-to-end supply planning process or a full product category
