The Strategic Network & Capacity Planner role is pivotal to the long-term success of Tempur Sealy International (TSI) in ensuring medium to long term capacity availability across its suppliers’ manufacturing and distribution network. The SSP will establish and help execute strategies to best manage supply flows (suppliers’ production, replenishment, and inventory management) in accordance with TSI Go-to-market strategy. This involves connecting our demand and usage variability with our vendors’ capabilities, to meet service and growth targets while minimizing risk (outages, obsolete inventory) and costs (transportation, manufacturing inefficiencies.) from an end-to-end standpoint.

A successful SSP is a natural leader with strong business acumen; is a dynamic problem solver, detail oriented and well organized; excels in manipulating data, proposing creative solutions and managing trade-offs; communicates with ease at all levels; thrives in an ambiguous environment and is adept at change management.
