The right individual will lead key processes and collaborate with stakeholders at Kraus and Delta to optimize working capital, customer service and operational costs

• Establish and monitor KPIs such as forecast accuracy, forecast bias, forecast value-add, service-level impact, and inventory health.

• Identify demand risks, upside opportunities, and forecast variances; recommend practical actions to improve outcomes.

• Develop dashboards, reporting, and executive-ready insights that support data-driven planning decisions.

S&OP / Consensus Planning Leadership

• Facilitate consensus planning across Sales, Product, Finance, and Operations.

• Challenge and reconcile inputs from multiple functions to create one aligned demand plan.

• Present demand outlooks, key assumptions, risks, opportunities, and recommended decisions to leadership.

Inventory, Supply & Business Partnership

• Partner with Supply Planning, Procurement, and Operations to balance demand, inventory, service levels, lead times, and working capital goals.

• Help identify stock-out exposure, excess/obsolete inventory risk, and demand-supply disconnects before they become operational issues.

• Support scenario planning related to growth initiatives, major customers, product transitions, promotions, and supply constraints.

• Develop and implement safety stock policies that are scalable and optimize Kraus’s inventory.

Capability Building & Player-Coach Leadership

• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for demand planning best practices.

• Build tools, templates, routines, and planning discipline that can scale with the business.

• Coach cross-functional partners and any future planning team members on process, metrics, and expectations.

• Strong analytical capability with the ability to turn complex data into clear business insights and practical recommendations.

• Comfortable influencing senior stakeholders across Sales, Finance, Product, Operations, and Supply Chain.
