# Materials Planning Manager

Meet the Team Material Planning is the team that answers a deceptively hard question: what components do Cisco actually need, and when? We be responsible for the component-level view of the supply plan across Cisco's highest-value commodity groups, including ASICs, Memory, PCB, Power, Optics and MPU. We translate the demand signal into the true need at part level so Component Supply Operations can secure it, and so shortages get resolved with logic instead of critical issue. The team sits at the center of Global Supply Chain, running a coordinated commodity planning process that brings Global Supplier Management, Product Operations, Global Manufacturing Operations and Planning into a single component picture. We're a small, deeply analytical group with outsized reach, and as we expand into new commodities, you'd be among the first dedicated planners for yours. That means you'd be crafting how it's planned, not inheriting a playbook. Your Impact You will own the component-level need for an assigned commodity and serve as the trusted planning voice for every partner who builds, buys or secures it. Translate product-level demand and supply plans into a clear, time-phased component req
