About the Team
We've got the boldest burgers on the block. From the first day we fired up our grills, we've had one thing on our minds: big, bold flavor. We're on a mission to bring fearlessly original flavor and crave-worthy experiences to every bite and guest interaction. Our burgers are stacked with bold flavor, our fries are best in the business, and we're doing it all at a price that's hard to beat.
At Checkers & Rally's, being fearlessly original is in our DNA. We believe in a work culture as fun as our food is delicious, developing and training all our employees to give them opportunities to move up in our company and build a rewarding career.
About the Role
Strong Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) are essential to our supply reliability, inventory effectiveness, and restaurant execution. As the Planning and Inventory Program Manager, you will lead enterprise planning programs that connect demand, supply, and inventory—ensuring plans are integrated, actionable, and execution-ready.
Reporting to the Sr. Director of Supply Chain Management and Planning, you will own S&OP/IBP program governance, cadence, and performance. You will partner closely with Supply Planning, Inventory, Distribution, and Category teams, while working with Demand Planning stakeholders—including Marketing and Finance—to align forecasts, assumptions, and priorities. This role plays a critical part in balancing availability, cost, and inventory performance as planning maturity continues to scale.
Hiring Process
Interested candidates should submit their resume and a cover letter detailing their experience with S&OP/IBP processes and supply chain strategy. Our interview process typically includes an initial screening, a deep-dive discussion with the hiring manager, and a final round with senior leadership to assess cultural fit and strategic alignment.
