We are seeking a highly skilled and adaptable Unified Planner to lead and optimize our end-to-end supply chain planning. As our team transitions from distinct demand and supply roles to a more integrated approach, this role requires a general planner skillset capable of managing both finished goods and subcomponent levels.The ideal candidate will possess a comprehensive understanding of supply chain dynamics, advanced data modeling skills, and the technical acumen to forecast and manage network hardware and server rack deployments. You will act decisively in a fast-paced environment, developing mid-to-long-range demand outlooks and optimized supply strategies to drive strategic initiatives in AI and network deployment.Key Responsibilities1. Integrated Planning & ForecastingDevelop strong partnerships with Sourcing, Engineering, Finance, and Commodity Planning teams to build mid-to-long-term demand planning and forecasting strategies while simultaneously sourcing the latest demand signals, including products in dynamic NPI stages.Partner to develop and manage an optimized supply plan for server racks, network, DC construction, and Compute & Storage. Work closely with internal teams and external third parties — including regular coordination with Asia-based partners — to model production capacity, alternatives for material constraints, and make informed trade-off and allocation decisions in resource-limited environments.Develop and build forecasting models and strategies that incorporate cost optimization, network deployment demands, AI strategies, and network topology. Design what-if planning models and utilize planning software (e.g., Oracle) to manage the end-to-end supply chain process.2. Operational Excellence & ExecutionWork with cross-functional partners to identify cost reduction opportunities, including excess & obsolescence reduction, design for manufacturing, and overall inventory optimization techniques at the rack and commodity levels. Propose safety stock adjustments based on identified supply chain risks.Build and utilize planning software (Oracle, internal tools) to manage processes. Collaborate with Enterprise Products and Analytics teams to enhance automation, efficiency, and accuracy. Develop and implement clear-to-build (CTB) tools tailored to manage commodities at various stages of AI server rack production.Lead the development of new KPIs and automated reports to drive business decisions, highlight performance, and identify risks.Drive the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) / Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) cycle, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives and maintaining a seamless process from start to finish.3. Communication & CollaborationEffectively communicate supply plan commitments and demand outlooks across the organization, up to the leadership level, ensuring a clear understanding of implications.Build out network hardware technical forecasting models that consider engineering options and collaborate with Network Engineering partners to drive demand trade-offs.
