This full-time role is critical in ensuring the efficient alignment of supply, demand, and production capabilities while maintaining agility in a dynamic manufacturing environment.

As a Master Scheduler, you will develop and optimize scheduling strategies, analyze multiple scenarios to manage constraints, and lead the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process to drive visibility and informed decision-making. You will play a central role in coordinating manufacturing capacity planning, slot scheduling, and operational execution, ensuring seamless alignment with business objectives and long-term growth plans.

This position is ideal for someone with strong problem-solving skills, the ability to manage complexity, and a strategic mindset toward scheduling and supply chain operations.

Here’s What You’ll Do

  • Develop and manage a master production schedule that aligns demand forecasts, manufacturing capacity, and resource availability.
  • Lead scenario planning and capacity modeling to evaluate trade-offs, identify constraints, and provide scheduling flexibility.
  • Optimize slot planning and long-term facility capacity utilization to ensure efficient operations and scalability.
  • Continuously assess scheduling performance, leveraging data-driven insights to refine strategies and improve efficiency.
  • Lead the S&OP process, integrating demand planning, production scheduling, and inventory management to align business objectives.
  • Collaborate with Commercial, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Finance teams to ensure a balanced approach to supply and demand planning.
  • Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor schedule adherence, production efficiency, and forecast accuracy.
  • Facilitate monthly S&OP meetings, ensuring alignment across functions and executive visibility into scheduling constraints and opportunities.
  • Act as the central scheduling liaison between Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, and Program Management, ensuring alignment on priorities.
  • Coordinate manufacturing capacity planning and slot allocation, balancing production schedules with operational constraints.
  • Facilitate collaborative meetings and communication channels to ensure all stakeholders remain informed on schedule updates and changes.
  • Proactively manage and resolve scheduling conflicts, adapting plans as needed to accommodate demand fluctuations and production variability.
  • Manage and update production schedules in SAP, ensuring compliance with SOPs, work instructions, and established workflows.
  • Monitor customer demand, manufacturing constraints, and inventory levels, ensuring seamless execution of GMP activities.
  • Support technology transfers and clinical manufacturing scheduling, ensuring smooth transitions and efficient resource planning.
  • Enhance material planning and inventory control processes, working closely with Manufacturing Operations and Quality Control teams.
  • Define and track KPIs for schedule performance, efficiency, and process improvements.
  • Develop and maintain advanced reporting tools, improving visibility into scheduling, capacity planning, and inventory trends.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance scheduling accuracy, manufacturing efficiency, and cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements
