Are you energized by solving complex planning challenges across global supply chains? Do you thrive in environments where strategic thinking drives operational excellence? At Accenture, we’re seeking a Senior Business Planner with at least 4 years of relevant experience to lead transformative planning initiatives that shape the future of supply chain performance for our clients worldwide.

Role Mission
This role is strategically focused — not just about managing day-to-day operations but about designing and leading long-term planning frameworks that elevate supply chain resilience, agility, and efficiency. You’ll act as a trusted advisor, driving continuous improvement and innovation while leading cross-functional teams by example. Success in this role requires an entrepreneurial mindset: the ability to challenge the status quo, identify opportunities for transformation, and take initiative in shaping future-ready planning ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Planning & Material Availability

  • Develop and maintain forward-looking demand and supply forecasts (0–24 month horizon).
  • Provide reliable planning signals to suppliers and internal stakeholders.
  • Support investment decisions for capacity expansion (1–3 year horizon).
  • Influence planning strategy across client organizations.

Inventory & Risk Management

  • Define buffer strategies and inventory policies.
  • Conduct excess & obsolescence (E&O) risk assessments.
  • Resolve inefficiencies and mitigate overplanning.

Planning Optimization & Innovation

  • Refine planning parameters and methodologies.
  • Implement best-fit planning policies (e.g., manual vs. MRP).
  • Introduce innovative approaches such as demand leveling.
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives across planning processes.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Operate independently with a high degree of ownership.
  • Lead by example in stakeholder engagement and decision-making.
  • Align with demand planning, supplier management, product lifecycle, and production teams.
  • Facilitate consensus on supply plans and corrective actions.
