Production Planner

Are you a supply chain wizard who loves data, systems, and keeping things running like clockwork? We're looking for a sharp, proactive Production Planner to serve as the operational backbone of our brewery.

In this role, you'll turn sales forecasts into actionable production schedules and secure the top-tier raw materials and packaging needed to craft our products. Sitting right at the intersection of Production, Sales, Warehouse, and Finance, you'll be the air-traffic controller keeping inventory balanced, supply chains seamless, and the beer flowing

What You'll Do

• Master the Master Plan: Build and fine-tune short- and long-term production schedules based on demand forecasts, tank capacity, and customer needs across both Brewing and Packaging.
• Fuel the Brewhouse: Calculate and purchase all raw materials (hops, malt, yeast, fruit, specialty flavors) and packaging assets (cans, lids, cartons, kegs) to ensure we never miss a beat.
• Keep Supply Lines Moving: Manage POs, track vendor lead times, negotiate pricing, and stay ahead of supply chain bottlenecks before they impact production.
• Optimize Inventory: Keep stock levels lean, accurate, and aligned with upcoming runs using our ERP system to minimize waste and prevent shortages.
• Drive Process & ERP Power: Leverage data, track KPIs, and champion continuous improvement to make our planning tools smarter and more efficient.

What You Bring

• The Experience: 3+ years in production planning, procurement, materials management, or supply chain—bonus points if it's in food, beverage, brewing or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Data & Systems Savvy: Advanced Excel skills (pivots, lookups, formulas) and ERP/MRP experience (Odoo experience is a huge plus).
• Problem-Solving Power: Strong analytical chops, ultra-organized, and obsessed with the details that keep a fast-paced facility moving.
• Great Communication: Ability to collaborate seamlessly across teams, manage multiple priorities on the fly, and take true ownership of results.

Hiring Range

The anticipated hiring range for this role is an annual salary of $60,000 - $70,000. Our comprehensive benefits package includes medical, dental and vision insurance.
