Scenario Planning Lead Personal Systems

As a Scenario Planning Lead at HP's Personal Systems business, you will be joining the Supply Planning Analytics team to enable agile, data-driven decisions across the global supply chain. Your role will involve designing and executing scenario models that balance cost, inventory, service, and time to support the factory network and provide actionable insights to the global supply planning team. Key Responsibilities: - Lead development of what-if simulations to assess the impact of component shortages, demand shifts, strategic buys, and supplier transitions. - Quantify trade-offs across cost, inventory, service, and timing to guide both tactical and strategic supply decisions. - Build scenarios to monitor and address factory over- or under-utilization across HP's global manufacturing footprint. - Enable optimal use of constrained resources including capacity, labor, and materials by aligning supply timing with demand needs. - Incorporate lead times, consumption velocity (FIFO), and qualification timelines into simulation frameworks. - Conduct ROI modeling for strategic buys using cost of capital, obsolescence risk, and service alignment. - Deliver critical analytics and insights to the supply planning team to support operational execution and executive reviews. - Work closely with Category, Procurement, Finance, and Planning teams to align on scenario assumptions and decision pathways. - Contribute to harmonizing scenario planning processes across HP Personal Systems, Print, and S&G. Qualifications Required: - Bachelors or Masters degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, or Analytics. - 7+ years of experience in supply planning, scenario modeling, or operations analytics. - Strong understanding of supply chain trade-offs across cost, inventory, service, and time. - Proven experience supporting factory utilization analysis, resource efficiency, and planning operations. - Advanced proficiency in Power BI (DAX) and Excel (Power Query). - Excellent problem-solving, business storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience in the high-tech or PC industry with complex component supply chains (e.g., CPU, memory). - Familiarity with inventory KPIs (DIO, aging, excess/obsolescence) and cost-based planning models. - Working knowledge of planning systems (SAP IBP, Kinaxis, Anaplan). - Knowledge of Monte Carlo simulation techniques for uncertainty and risk modeling. - Certifications such as APICS/CPIM, Six Sigma, or PMP are a plus. At HP, you will lead high-impact scenario planning within the Supply Planning Analytics organization, influence global supply decisions, collaborate with global teams, and deliver actionable insights that guide both operational execution and strategic direction.,
