A day in the lifeThis role solves a giant optimization problem. The team broadly takes demand inputs and DSP supply estimations to understand where there may be capacity gaps and designs recommendations (in partnership with downstream teams) to address those gaps. This historically has been a mix of art and science, but we are looking for a leader who can push this more towards the science side of things and build more scalable processes for how we address capacity imbalances.About the teamTeam members need to both know their data and know their partner teams. Capacity planners need to understand what drives volume variability. But after that they need to earn trust with partner teams to build alignment on our strategies to fulfill needed volume.
