by Job Title: VP of Supply Chain Planning
Company: Raymour & Flanigan Furniture and Mattresses
Location: Liverpool, New York
Description: Raymour & Flanigan is looking for a leader to own demand planning and purchase order execution across a catalog of roughly 5,000 SKUs. The goal is to keep us fully in stock without being overstocked. This is not a forecasting job that ends when the plan is published. You own the plan, the buy, and the follow-through — through vendor acknowledgement, cargo ready date, and handoff to transportation, until product lands in our buildings on the week we need it.
The role is also constrained by what the company’s buildings can physically absorb. Door capacity and labor set a ceiling on how much product they can receive in a given week. Purchasing has to be smoothed against that ceiling, not just against demand. Chinese New Year is the clearest case: the pull-ahead is unavoidable, but the volume has to be feathered in over months. When purchasing isn’t smoothed, containers sit at the port accruing demurrage.
Qualifications:
- Deep analytical capability — you work directly in the data, build the model yourself, and can defend the numbers rather than presenting someone else’s output
- Fluency with SQL, BI tools, and advanced Excel, and the ability to pick up an ERP or planning system quickly
- Real vendor management experience — you’ve held suppliers or partners to commitments and know what actually moves them
- Demonstrated ability to build solutions with AI and automation, or a clear track record of teaching yourself new tools and putting them into production
- Comfort operating against hard physical or operational constraints, not just against a plan on paper
