Sr. Director, Portfolio Planning Innovation

Nice to have:

Proven experience leading cross-functional, end-to-end planning processes in a fast-growth or highly dynamic environment.

Demonstrated success owning both demand and supply accountability, not just coordination.

Strong working knowledge of advanced planning platforms (e.g., SAP IBP, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder).

We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, 401k, bonus / incentive eligibility, equity grants, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits, including parental leave. Kinder’s benefits vary based on eligibility and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.

OUR RECIPE FOR BALANCE:

We believe great culture starts with people. We’re a people-first company built on connection, collaboration, and balance. Most of our work happens in the office to spark creativity and community, but we also offer flexibility so team members have the autonomy to work outside the office when needed to support their work-life balance and personal commitments.
