CRM Supply Planning Lead

INVISTA is seeking a CRM Supply Planning Lead to manage end-to-end supply planning and execution for Critical Raw Materials (CRM).

This role is accountable for the daily effectiveness of the CRM planning process and for building a sustainable planning capability. The CRM Supply Planning Lead will maintain visibility to inventory, capacity, constraints, and execution risks. They will partner with production sites, tollers, Sourcing, and other business teams to align priorities, evaluate trade-offs, and lead recovery actions.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in risk analysis and apply a disciplined approach to Critical Raw Materials.

This analysis will support timely decisions and mitigation plans that protect our sites and preserve supply continuity. Success also requires sound judgment, effective collaboration, and clear communication.
