Job Summary:

The Sr. S&OP Manager will lead the design, launch, and stabilization of ZimVie’s global Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP / SIOP) process. This role is responsible for building the operating model, governance, calendar, templates, standard meeting formats, decision forums, roles and responsibilities, handoffs, escalation paths, and management routines required to move ZimVie from a fragmented planning approach to one integrated, forward-looking business planning process.
