This is what drives us! For more than 160 years, Siemens has been an integral provider of infrastructure, electrification, and transportation solutions in the United States.

We help our customers move the world. Demand Planner Team Lead Location: Sacramento, CA or Lexington, NC (Hybrid/On-site) Position Overview: Siemens Mobility is seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Demand Planner Team Lead to join our Customer Service division. This pivotal role will not only perform day-to-day demand planning but will also be instrumental in designing, standardizing, and optimizing demand planning processes from the ground up. The ideal candidate will have proven experience with SAP MRP systems and possess advanced Excel skills, coupled with a strong ability to solve complex problems and work on the technical aspects of demand planning. Our Customer Service division is committed to ensuring parts availability for locomotive maintenance across all business segments. As a Demand Planner Team Lead, you will provide hands-on planning expertise, collaborate with various stakeholders to develop and implement efficient materials planning strategies, and ensure seamless execution. You will play a crucial role in the Supply Chain Management team, supporting Maintenance Contracts. In addition to these responsibilities, you will lead our GBS planners, fostering their development and contributing to the continuous operational excellence of the entire team. We are looking for someone with a strong aptitude for coaching and supporting a team, who can drive process improvements and ensure our planning operations are best-in-class. What You'll Do: As a Demand Planner Team Lead, you'll wear two important hats, blending your individual contributor expertise with your leadership potential: As a Senior Demand Planner (approx. 50-60% of your time): - Collaboration: Partner with Project Managers, Material Managers, and Engineering to proactively identify impacts of unreleased, obsolete, or updated parts on maintenance schedules and develop robust mitigation plans. - SAP Proficiency: Apply your deep knowledge of the SAP MRP system (Planning module) to accurately enter forecasted demand, manage planning parameters, and oversee the entire planning process for your assigned projects . - Cross-Functional Orchestration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to develop streamlined, low-risk materials planning strategies for assigned business segments. You'll monitor end-to-end processes to ensure plan execution, secure material availability, and continuously improve inventory turnover. - Problem Solving: Collaborate with engineering, MRP controllers, order management, material managers, and strategic procurement to swiftly address gaps and material shortages. - Performance Insight: Track relevant metrics, generate insightful reports, charts, and presentations to monitor end-to-end performance, and promote transparency across stakeholders. As a Team Lead (approx. 40-50% of your time): - Process Architect: Take the lead on defining and refining our demand planning processes. You'll create clear guidelines, Standard of Work Procedures (SOW), and comprehensive training materials for the team. - Workshop Facilitator: Organize and lead workshops to develop and implement improved planning process flows, expanding the team's capabilities and assignments as needed (e.g., changes to specific CPPM assignments like Engines, Alternators, WS OHs). - Knowledge Hub Curator: Be the guardian of our team's knowledge! You'll organize and update our SharePoint and other team documentation, ensuring all resources are current, accessible, and easy to understand. - Performance Driver: As our planning dashboards evolve, you'll guide the team through changes in planning processes and help define and track key performance indicators (KPIs), such as End-to-End (ETE) Planning execution. - Mentorship & Guidance: Provide day-to-day guidance and support to a small team of 1-2 demand planners, helping them navigate complex issues and grow their skills. To thrive in this role, you have: - Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Commercial, Manufacturing, or Engineering is preferred.

What Would Make You Stand Out: - Expertise in SAP ERP implementation or customization projects, or a "super user" designation. - Strongly demonstrated written & verbal communication and interpersonal skills, with an ability to influence and guide. - A tenacious and assertive driver who proactively escalates internally when needed. - Experience in developing training materials or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). - Prior experience mentoring or coaching junior team members.
