We build and connect technologies to help protect people, property and places. Our solutions foster the collaboration that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, safer businesses, and ultimately, safer nations. Connect with a career that matters, and help us build a safer future. Department Overview The Global Supply Planning Team plays a critical role in our unified mission of "Solving for safer". We oversee global Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) execution to fulfill product requirements worldwide across both our Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and Video Security divisions. By bridging demand signals with actual production realities, our team helps to ensure that essential communications and security ecosystem technologies are available whenever and wherever they are needed most.

We are looking for a Global Supply Planner to coordinate and optimize our international supplier product flows. In this role, you will analyze forecasts (NET REQUIREMENTS AND NET BOOKED ORDERS), manage raw material allocations to our EMS partners, and balance inventory to support seamless factory operations. You will act as a vital bridge between Business Operations and global Distribution Centers (DCs), converting high-level demand forecasts into reliable, execution-ready build plans.

EMS & Supplier Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for EMS partners managing Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and Video solutions. Dictate production priorities based on negotiated line capacities, ensure alignment, and escalate supply assurance issues when necessary. Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the strategic liaison between the Sales team, Business Operations, and global Distribution Centers (DCs) to translate commercial demand plans into actionable factory build plans. Inventory Optimization & Order Management: Monitor and balance raw material supply to meet production needs while optimizing inventory levels.  Occasionally, purchase orders are required; this is not a primary function of the GSP and involves orders for services or indirect materials. We do not handle raw material purchases here. Data-Driven Performance Tracking: Utilize ERP/MRP systems to analyze data, forecast material needs, track supplier performance, and drive continuous improvement in the supply chain. Operational Efficiency: Balance cost, quality, and timely delivery across the supply chain by fostering strong supplier relationships and resolving operational bottlenecks proactively. NPI & Engineering Support: This position facilitates or monitors engineering changes or the introduction of new projects only as a monitor; there is an engineering team dedicated to this as well as program managers who lead it. GSP is only a facilitator, passively monitoring with the EMS and escalating issues if the engineering or supply assurance team needs support. Facilitate the execution of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and support the rollout of New Product Introductions (NPI) as required. At Motorola Solutions, we offer a people-first culture where your work directly impacts the safety and security of communities, enterprises, and public safety personnel globally. If you are an analytical professional looking to translate complex metrics into operational success, we invite you to join us in our continuous pursuit of building a safer world. #LI-DR2 Basic Requirements Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, International business or similar.
