Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands. We are seeking a Demand Planner II to develop and maintain the demand plan for an assigned portfolio of programs. This role takes the inputs provided by Program Management and Business Development and shapes them into a single, time-phased plan the business can execute against. As a Demand Planner, you work across both the executional horizon that drives build and buy decisions and the long-range horizon that drives capacity, capital, and hiring decisions. Program Management and Business Development own what the business has committed to and what it expects to win. You take those inputs, reconcile and shape them into a defensible, time-phased demand plan, bring that plan to the monthly SIOP cycle, and hand the agreed version to Supply Planning in a form that can be executed. The SIOP calendar, the demand review, and the reporting cadence are established; this role runs its portfolio inside them. Responsibilities: Develop and maintain the demand plan for an assigned portfolio of programs across both the executional horizon and the long-range horizon. Develop and maintain a rolling 0-12 month demand profile used for build and buy decisions, and extend the signal into the long-range horizon used for capacity, facility, and hiring decisions.
