Planning Program Manager (Supply Chain Systems Transformation)
Location: Remote (must be within ~50 miles of San Jose, Austin, or RTP)

Overview

This opportunity sits within a centralized operations group supporting a complex silicon/hardware supply chain, with a focus on evolving and stabilizing planning capabilities across demand, supply, and IBP/S&OP.

The environment today is somewhat fragmented across systems, processes, and ownership. The goal of this role is to bring structure, alignment, and long-term direction to the planning function by evaluating the current landscape and driving a more cohesive, scalable approach.

This is less about day-to-day program execution and more about strategic transformation. The team is looking for someone who can step back, assess where things stand, and define and drive an end-to-end roadmap across planning systems, data, and workflows.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Assessing current planning systems, processes, and data flows to identify gaps and opportunities
• Building and owning a long-term roadmap for planning system improvements and integrations
• Leading end-to-end implementation or migration efforts, including detailed cutover planning
• Driving alignment across planning, IT, and business stakeholders to ensure execution
• Ensuring continuity across data, reporting, and planning outputs during system transitions
• Establishing governance, prioritization, and structure across a portfolio of planning initiatives
• Tracking progress and driving execution across multiple, concurrent workstreams

What Success Looks Like

• Bringing clarity and structure to a previously fragmented planning environment
• Delivering a well-defined, executable roadmap for planning transformation
• Successfully leading system implementations or migrations with minimal disruption
• Creating alignment across cross-functional teams and improving planning outcomes

What They’re Looking For

• 8+ years of program or portfolio management within supply chain environments
• Strong foundation in supply planning, demand planning, and IBP/S&OP
• Direct experience with Oracle Supply Chain Planning
• Proven ownership of end-to-end planning system implementations or migrations
• Experience developing roadmaps, integration strategies, and cutover plans
• Ability to connect systems, data, reporting, and planning workflows
• Experience working across IT, planning, and business teams
• Background in semiconductor or hardware supply chains

Additional Experience That Stands Out

• Experience operating as a planning systems consultant or solution architect
• Exposure to tools like SAP, Kinaxis, or Blue Yonder
• PMP or similar certification
