Eaton’s Electrical Sector division is currently seeking a Supply Planner. This is a full-time position requiring approximately 50% travel. The role will operate in a hybrid environment, with time spent at Eaton locations, supplier sites, and working remotely from home.

What you’ll do:

The Supply Planner serves as the business planning authority for the mid- to long-range supply horizon, owning the rolling 3-to-24-month constrained supply plan through Eaton’s Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) process. This role translates the consensus demand plan into a feasible supply response by integrating capacity, materials, labor, tooling, supplier, inventory, logistics, and network constraints. The Supply Planner develops scenarios, evaluates trade-offs, and provides recommendations that enable informed leadership decisions. Reporting to the SIOP Leader, this global individual-contributor role leads the Supply Review for the assigned business, region, product line, or value stream, connecting strategic and tactical planning with execution. The Supply Planner establishes supply direction and planning assumptions that Network Planners, Master Schedulers, Buyers, and other execution teams translate into executable schedules. This role does not own day-to-day production scheduling, purchase-order expediting, or transactional material execution.

Essential Functions:

• Own the rolling 3-to-24-month constrained supply plan and supply-side inputs to the monthly SIOP cycle, balancing consensus demand against current and planned capacity.
• Lead the Supply Review for the assigned scope, consolidating constraints and assumptions across Manufacturing, Procurement, Logistics, and the broader supply network. Resolve issues at the planning level and escalate unresolved gaps with clear options and recommendations.
• Perform rough-cut capacity planning across labor, equipment, production lines, tooling, suppliers, and critical materials, distinguishing structural constraints from short-term execution issues.
• Develop base, upside, downside, and what-if scenarios that quantify trade-offs across service, revenue, inventory, cost, cash, and capacity to support timely leadership decisions.
• Proactively identify supply, capacity, and lead-time risks and recommend mitigation strategies, including capital, staffing, sourcing, and inventory actions.
• Translate the strategic supply plan into appropriate inventory, safety-stock, and pre-build strategies, providing a clear and risk-informed handoff as requirements move into network and execution planning.
• Partner with Demand Planning, Finance, Operations, Procurement, Product Management, and Commercial teams to align the supply plan with the Annual Operating Plan, rolling financial forecasts, and portfolio priorities.
• Assess supply implications associated with new product introductions, product phase-outs, promotions, sourcing changes, footprint decisions, and major commercial opportunities.
• Own and validate key planning assumptions and scenario inputs.
• Develop decision-quality analytics and effectively communicate risks, options, assumptions, financial implications, and required decisions to senior business leaders.
• Drive adoption of Eaton standard work, common planning definitions, digital planning tools, and governance while improving data quality, process maturity, and planning capabilities.
• Track action closure and measure supply-plan effectiveness across planning horizons, ensuring decisions and mitigation actions are effectively carried into execution.
