• Coordinate production solutions for new product introductions (Novelty) through to end-of-life (Exit), balancing supply and demand throughout the product lifecycle.

• Communicate clearly and proactively with all relevant stakeholders regarding the current production status of manufacturing partners.

• Own the generation and distribution of supply planning reports, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and relevance.

• Take accountability for all communications related to supply risks, interruptions, and potential business impacts.

• Identify opportunities to improve planning processes and drive continuous improvement projects to completion.

• Ensure effective integration and communication with the planning team, shop floor planners, shipping, and other key stakeholders.

• Perform other job-related duties as assigned by the manager.
