• 7+ years of experience in inventory analysis, financial analysis, or statistical/data reporting, with a focus on interpreting data to drive business insights.
• Working knowledge of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and operational concepts including demand and supply balancing, production planning, scheduling, purchasing, forecasting, and inventory control.
• Experience using ERP and MRP systems. SAP is preferred; SAP S/4HANA and Kinaxis experience are a plus.
• Ability to analyze variances, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
• Strong problem-solving skills with an understanding of how planning changes impact delivery commitments and working capital.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams, drive accountability, and communicate effectively across the organization.
• Advanced Excel skills, including the use of pivot tables to analyze data, present insights, and support multi-level BOM decisions.
• Experience in a regulated aerospace or defense manufacturing environment, including familiarity with AS9100, lot traceability, and export compliance, is preferred.

As an Inventory Planning & Control Manager, you will:

• Own the governance and control of inventory policy across the Commercial Materials network, balancing supply and delivery requirements against inventory cost to optimize global cash flow and working capital performance. Establish, implement, and monitor inventory management processes that support on-time delivery and optimal inventory levels.
• Develop and maintain inventory targets, policies, and controls, including safety stock, min/max settings, reorder parameters, and planning data accuracy within MRP, PCAS, and other materials management systems.
• Represent inventory within CAG's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process by providing inventory positions, projections, and risk assessments during Supply Reviews and Integrated Reconciliation activities. Translate agreed plans into actionable inventory strategies and decisions.
• Drive near-term material availability and inventory decisions through Integrated Tactical Planning (ITP), ensuring day-to-day execution remains aligned with strategic inventory and supply plans. Develop and implement strategies to minimize excess and obsolete inventory while maintaining customer service levels.
• Monitor inventory-related KPIs and provide actionable insights to leadership and value stream teams to address performance variances and improve operational outcomes. Develop executive-level reporting and dashboards covering inventory turns, days of supply, inventory accuracy, fill rate/OTIF, past-due inventory, and slow-moving and obsolete inventory.
• Establish processes and metrics that proactively identify inventory risks and ensure timely escalation and mitigation of issues affecting inventory performance and customer delivery requirements.
• Partner with Global Commercial Materials, Operations, Supply Chain, and Program teams to identify constraints impacting inventory, evaluate business risks, and develop solutions across purchased and manufactured parts. Lead problem-solving activities and coordinate communication across sites.
• Own cycle count strategy and governance, including schedules, compliance, inventory accuracy, root cause analysis, and corrective action management.
