Your Opportunity

Are you ready to take the lead in shaping a smarter, more agile supply chain? Lincoln Sentry is seeking a Senior Supply Chain Planner to drive strategic planning, optimize inventory flow, and mentor a high-performing team. This is a pivotal role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys working cross-functionally to deliver results.

As a Senior Supply Chain Planner, you’ll be at the heart of our supply network strategy—making decisions that directly impact product availability, supplier performance, and operational efficiency. You’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure our supply chain runs smoothly, cost-effectively, and in alignment with business goals.

Responsibilities

- Strategically manage stock placement across distribution centers and branches, ensuring efficient movement and replenishment across the network

- Collaborate with sales, category, and marketing teams to align inventory levels with demand forecasts and business targets

- Maintain strong supplier partnerships by providing accurate forecasts and ensuring timely, complete deliveries

- Partner with procurement and purchasing teams to optimize MRP processes and GS1 data setup, including rounding quantities, lot sizing, and transfer quantities

- Lead initiatives in freight, transfers, and slow-moving stock management using analytics to drive smarter decisions

- Provide strategic oversight of master data setup to minimize manual intervention and improve system efficiency

- Act as a mentor to supply planners and master data administrators, offering guidance and potentially overseeing dotted-line reports

What you’ll bring

- Proven experience with SAP or ERP systems

- Expertise in managing high-volume SKU environments (16,000+ SKUs)

- Advanced Excel and data analysis skills

- A proactive, analytical mindset with strong problem-solving abilities

- Experience in trade retail, manufacturing, or distribution environments preferred

But what’s most important is that you’re committed to doing good work, well. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with trustworthy people, so it’s important that you’re willing to work in a team environment. We’re also on a constant journey of growth, so you’ll need to have an open mind and be flexible to change.
