Your role at Clorox:

The Associate Director, Network Flow - Upstream Planning, Outlook & Insights leads the upstream Network Flow capability by creating an integrated, multi-horizon view of product flow across the Logistics network, aligning business priorities with demand, supply, inventory, customer, deployment, fulfillment, transportation, capacity, and financial inputs into a single decision-ready outlook. This role proactively identifies risks and opportunities, assesses plan executability, develops scenarios, and recommends tradeoffs that optimize service, cost, inventory, throughput, capacity, and network stability while integrating cross-functional plans across IBP, Deployment, Customer Supply Chain, Fulfillment, Transportation, Manufacturing, Finance, and Network Optimization. Success is measured by earlier risk identification, improved forward visibility, stronger decision-making, fewer late-stage plan changes, and the adoption of a unified Logistics outlook to support enterprise-wide decisions.

In this role, you will:

Integrated Network Flow Outlook and Plan Optimization

·       Build and maintain the integrated Logistics flow outlook across near-term, mid-range, and rolling long-range horizons.

·       Bring together expected demand, supply, inventory, customer, deployment, warehouse, transportation, capacity, cost, and Business Unit inputs.

·       Assess whether the resulting plan is executable and identify conflicts, gaps, assumptions, and decisions required.

·       Drive network decisions through a weekly outlook covering 100% of priority flows, delivered 95% on time.

 

Risk Sensing, Scenario Planning and Recommendations

·       Identify emerging bottlenecks, network imbalances, capacity exposure, service risks, cost risks, and flow opportunities before execution is affected.

·       Develop scenarios involving flow paths, timing, node loading, deployment sequencing, transportation alternatives, and capacity responses.

·       Evaluate tradeoffs across service, cost, inventory, throughput, space, transportation capacity, and execution stability.

·       Translate analysis into clear recommendations, assumptions, value at stake, and decision deadlines.

 

Input Governance and Cross-Functional Planning Integration

·       Define the decision-critical inputs, owners, definitions, refresh cadence, and quality expectations required for the flow outlook.

·       Partner with IBP, Customer Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Deployment, Fulfillment, Transportation, Finance, Logistics Business Leaders, and Business Units to validate inputs and assumptions.

·       Create clear interfaces and decision rights that preserve functional ownership while enabling total-network optimization.

·       Escalate missing or conflicting inputs that prevent a reliable, executable outlook.

 

Analytics, Digital Enablement and Continuous Improvement

·       Establish requirements for dashboards, models, alerts, scenario tools, and automated insights that improve visibility and time to decision.

·       Accelerate decision-making by automating priority data inputs, reducing manual effort 30% and achieving 95% completeness.

·       Challenge data quality and model assumptions and translate analytical outputs into operationally relevant insights.

·       Maintain a learning loop from plan versus actual performance to improve future outlooks and recommendations.

 

Capability Building and Leadership

·       Define upstream Network Flow standard work, planning horizons, deliverables, governance, and capability roadmap.

·       Build organizational capability in end-to-end thinking, scenario development, financial acumen, analytics translation, and decision quality.

·       Lead through influence across a highly matrixed environment and reinforce a network-first, enterprise mindset.

·       Support the scale-up of the future Network Flow organization and development of supporting talent.

What we look for:

·       Bachelor's degree in supply chain, logistics, operations, engineering, analytics, business, or related field, or equivalent experience, MBA or advanced degree is preferred.

·       10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain planning, Logistics, IBP, inventory, deployment, transportation, fulfillment, analytics, or related disciplines.

·       Demonstrated experience integrating complex functional plans and data into cross-functional scenarios or recommendations.

·       Experience evaluating tradeoffs across service, cost, inventory, capacity, and execution.

·       Demonstrated ability to influence decisions across organizational boundaries without relying on direct authority.

·       Experience building new planning, control tower, analytics, or operating-model capability.

·       Experience with enterprise planning, ERP, transportation, warehouse, business-intelligence, or scenario-modeling platforms.

·       Experience translating digital, advanced analytics, automation, or AI-enabled outputs into business decisions

·       Strategic and systems thinking

·       Strong analytical judgment and financial acumen

·       Executive communication and decision-storytelling

·       Ability to manage complexity and ambiguity.

·       Cross-functional influence and stakeholder alignment.

·       Builder mindset, change leadership, and operating-model design.

·       Strong accountability for outcomes, not activity.
