  • Communicate schedules and updates to plant managers, warehouse leads, and shipping teams.
  • Flag potential material shortages or schedule conflicts in advance.
  • Adjust plans based on sales demand changes, material delays, or equipment downtime.
  • Maintain planning dashboards, reports, and calendars for all departments to access.
  • Lead weekly planning meetings with plant managers and operations staff.

  • Experience working with import logistics or overseas supply timelines a plus.
  • Proficient in Excel, Google Sheets, and/or planning software (ERP or MRP systems).
  • Strong communication and coordination skills—must be detail-oriented and proactive.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally between factories, sourcing, and logistics.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with major retail order flow (EDI, routing guides, etc.).
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus but not required.

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive salary based on experience
