Senior/Lead Plan-to-Produce Advisor

An exciting career awaits you At MPC, we’re committed to being a great place to work – one that welcomes new ideas, encourages diverse perspectives, develops our people, and fosters a collaborative team environment.

Summary MPC is building an enterprise Plan-to-Produce capability to improve how planning, production, inventory, logistics, commercial activity, data, and technology work together to support reliable execution and better business decisions. Plan-to-Produce connects the activities and decisions involved in translating business plans into production, inventory, logistics, and commercial execution. The Plan-to-Produce Advisor is an individual contributor within Value Chain Optimization (VCO) who will help identify and address systemic performance issues across this end-to-end value chain. Working with business leaders, planners, operating sites, functional stakeholders, and technology teams, the advisor will analyze operational signals, process performance, recurring exceptions, data quality, and cross-functional dependencies to identify improvement priorities. The role will develop performance measures and insights, lead structured problem solving, and help translate improvement opportunities into practical changes to processes, decision logic, roles, data, and technology. This includes identifying business problems where analytics, automation, artificial intelligence, workflow tools, or improved data can reduce manual effort, strengthen decisions, and improve performance in areas such as Auto Reconciliation and other enterprise improvement opportunities. Success requires analytical problem solving, systems thinking, cross-functional facilitation, and the ability to influence measurable outcomes without direct authority. This position offers the opportunity to help establish a new enterprise capability while building perspective across operating performance, process design, analytics, technology enablement, and cross-functional change.

Leads structured problem solving for cross-functional performance gaps, using root-cause analysis, focused improvement cycles, and disciplined follow-through to develop and advance sustainable solutions. Improves end-to-end processes and operating practices by clarifying decision logic, handoffs, roles, key control points, and integration points across planning and execution. Identifies business problems and use cases where improved data, practical analytics, automation, artificial intelligence, or workflow tools can reduce manual effort, strengthen decisions, improve visibility, or improve process performance.
