Supply Planner

True to your namesake, for every question of “what’s up,” you know exactly what’s “‘sup.” You’re a SUP-ply Planner, after all. Not only do you know the supply forecast better than any weather channel crew knows the weather, but you thrive in the eye of the storm, and are prepared for rain, shine, or enchilada sauce monsoons. The only thing you love more than seeing pretty percentages across your excel screen is seeing inventory levels maintained, adjusted, and planned for accordingly. Ahhh, serenity! You are a mover and a shaker for your keen ability to resource plan—getting things to and from—as well as your enthusiasm for building relationships with manufacturing partners. Where some people understand “POs” to stand for “purchase orders,” you think of them as your “profound obsessions.” (In either translation, you’d agree that you can never have too many.) 

If this sounds like you, then our familia would love to hear from you in search of our ideal candidate for a Supply Planner!
