About this role
Berlin Packaging, a $3 billion rigid packaging supplier serving industries from automotive to cannabis, is looking for a Supply Planner to join its Dallas office on a hybrid basis. The role centers on inventory optimization and purchase order management—analyzing historical trends and customer forecasts to minimize costs while maintaining service levels, processing orders, coordinating with suppliers, and resolving discrepancies throughout the procurement cycle. You'd also manage transportation logistics, track supplier performance, and identify cost-reduction opportunities in collaboration with other teams.
The position requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience plus at least two years in supply chain or a related field. Success here depends on strong organizational skills, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and comfort with urgency and change. You should be comfortable with negotiation, have solid interpersonal skills, and bring technical proficiency—familiarity with inbound logistics and transportation is preferred. Berlin values self-motivation, teamwork, and a positive attitude; the company explicitly notes it hires for traits as much as skills and welcomes applications from candidates whose experience doesn't perfectly match the description.
The benefits package is comprehensive, including profit sharing, a 401(k) match, medical and dental coverage, paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement, and wellness perks like health club reimbursement and a Calm app subscription. Berlin reports engagement scores twice the national average and offers employees a stake in the company's profitable growth.
