The posting

Meet the Team

Material Planning is the team that answers a deceptively hard question: what components do Cisco actually need, and when? We be responsible for the component-level view of the supply plan across Cisco's highest-value commodity groups, including ASICs, Memory, PCB, Power, Optics and MPU. We translate the demand signal into the true need at part level so Component Supply Operations can secure it, and so shortages get resolved with logic instead of critical issue. The team sits at the center of Global Supply Chain, running a coordinated commodity planning process that brings Global Supplier Management, Product Operations, Global Manufacturing Operations and Planning into a single component picture. We're a small, deeply analytical group with outsized reach, and as we expand into new commodities, you'd be among the first dedicated planners for yours. That means you'd be crafting how it's planned, not inheriting a playbook.

Your Impact

You will own the component-level need for an assigned commodity and serve as the trusted planning voice for every partner who builds, buys or secures it.

  • Translate product-level demand and supply plans into a clear, time-phased component requirement, separating minimum need from upside and buffer, so suppliers and manufacturing sites act on the right signal.
  • Identify critical components and sense risk early through lead-time trends, contribute deviations and product transitions, so constraints are resolved before they reach the war room.
  • Own safety stock and buffer strategy for your commodity in partnership with Planning and Global Supplier Management, so buffers are sized to real volatility rather than habit.
  • Partner with GMO and GSM during constraint events, providing the planning inputs (minimum need, impact and options) that enable fast, defensible shortage decisions. Success looks like improved service levels to Cisco customers at an optimized cost to serve, with fewer supply surprises because partners trust your signal.

Minimum Qualifications

  • A minimum of 5 + years of experience in materials planning, component or commodity planning, supply planning, inventory management, or procurement within a manufacturing, electronics, or technology environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Supply Chain, Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field.
  • Experience performing component-level planning using Bill of Materials (BOM) structures, including BOM explosion, requirement netting, and multi-site requirements
  • Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools (SQL, Python, Power BI, or Tableau) for scenario modeling and risk analysis

Preferred Qualifications

  • Commodity-specific experience in ASICs, Memory, PCB, Power, Optics, or MPU
  • Experience with enterprise planning or ERP systems such as Kinaxis Rapid Response, Oracle, or SAP and the ability to influence without authority and turn complex supply data into clear, decision-ready recommendations for senior leaders
  • Experience participating in S&OP or cross-functional planning forums with Procurement, Manufacturing, and Business Unit partners
  • Experience sizing safety stock or buffer levels for components, and providing planning analysis to support shortage or constrained-supply decisions.
  • APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM or CSCP) or equivalent experience in Supply Chain, Operations is helpful.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
