Our stability, resources, and respectful culture supports you in building a solid career with a great team you can count on day in and day out for the long term.

Position Overview

The Director, Supply Chain Material Planning & Programs will provide strategic leadership and functional expertise for material planning, demand and supply planning, MRP, Inventory optimization and material availability for the CFM56 Program. This role will serve as a subject-matter expert and leader in Material Planning, ensuring the right material is available at the right time to support engine and MRO activities, customer commitments, and business growth. The Director will lead the development and standardization of planning processes, systems, tools, and performance metrics while partnering closely with Operations, Engineering, Procurement, Logistics, Finance, and Global Supply Chain

The Director will work with Enterprise SIOP to drive a disciplined planning process, improve forecast accuracy and inventory productivity, proactively identify material constraints and shortages, and establish the planning capabilities required to support StandardAero's growth and operational objectives.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the Material Planning efforts for the CFM56 Program, building a high-performing team of planners and developing deep technical expertise in material planning and master scheduling.
  • Serve as the subject-matter expert for material planning, establishing best practices for demand planning, supply planning, master scheduling, inventory management, safety stock, lead times, reorder strategies, and material availability.
  • Own the end-to-end material planning process for the CFM56 Program, translating production requirements, customer demand, forecasts, and shop capacity into actionable material requirements.
  • Work with the Enterprise SIOP leader, ensuring alignment between demand, production capacity, material availability, inventory, supplier capacity, and financial objectives.
  • Develop and maintain robust demand, supply, and material forecasts, identifying future material requirements, constraints, risks, and opportunities.
  • Establish planning parameters and governance, including lead times, safety stocks, order policies, lot sizes, minimum order quantities, planning horizons, and MRP settings.
  • Drive proactive identification and resolution of material shortages, shortages-to-production, past-due orders, excess and obsolete inventory, and potential engine/work-stoppage risks.
  • Establish a disciplined material shortage management process, including escalation mechanisms, recovery plans, ownership, and executive visibility.
  • Partner with Procurement and Vendor/Supplier management to ensure planned requirements are converted into executable supply commitments and that supplier performance supports production requirements.
  • Optimize inventory investment and working capital while maintaining the material availability required to meet customer and operational commitments.
  • Develop and implement advanced forecasting, planning, and analytics capabilities, leveraging ERP/MRP data, predictive analytics, historical demand, and market intelligence.
  • Establish common Material Planning KPIs, including material availability, schedule attainment, MRP adherence, forecast accuracy, inventory turns, excess & obsolete inventory, past-due POs, shortages, supplier lead-time performance, and production interruptions.
  • Standardize Material Planning processes, systems, tools, master data, and metrics in partnership with Global Supply Chain Leader and other functions.
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives to improve planning accuracy, planner productivity, inventory performance, material availability, and MRO turnaround time.
  • Act as a change agent for planning systems and processes, driving adoption of standardized planning methodologies, ERP/MRP capabilities, and data-driven decision making.
  • Partner closely with Operations, Engineering, Procurement, Logistics, Finance, and Program Management to ensure material plans are fully integrated with production and business plans.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with OEMs and strategic suppliers to improve material availability, lead-time visibility, allocation management, and supply continuity.
  • Provide executive-level visibility of material risks, constraints, inventory exposure, and recovery actions, ensuring leadership has a clear understanding of risks to revenue, production, and customer commitments.
  • Lead and develop the planning for the CFM56 Program through coaching, technical development, succession planning, and continuous improvement.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Experience using MRP/ERP planning systems to manage planning parameters, demand planning, supply planning, exception management, inventory optimization, and master data.
  • Experience managing material requirements, long-lead-time components, constrained supply, material shortages, and production-critical materials.
  • Experience analyzing and improving material availability, inventory turns, forecast accuracy, planning performance, and production schedule attainment.
  • Experience using data and analytics to identify material risks, trends, constraints, and opportunities.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Procurement, Operations, Engineering, Logistics, Finance, and suppliers or OEMs.
  • Experience with inventory optimization, safety-stock methodologies, excess and obsolete inventory, working capital, and inventory segmentation.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
