Description
Ready to leverage your supply chain expertise to ensure TELUS's network infrastructure has the right materials, at the right time, in the right place?
Our team and what we'll accomplish together
The Purchasing & Inventory Management Infrastructure (PIMI) team is seeking a results-driven, analytical Supply Planner to manage end-to-end material planning and drive optimal inventory, vendor excellence, and supply chain reliability. Our team supports the network reliability and infrastructure innovation that power TELUS's growth and keep Canadians connected—supported by a culture of excellence. From Demand, Supply, AI, and Business Transformation, we do it all.
As a Supply Planner, you'll translate TELUS's infrastructure goals into operational reality—orchestrating vendor partnerships, optimizing inventory efficiency across our national network, and ensuring material excellence that powers our build.
What you'll do
Establish and execute inventory and supply plans to meet business goals (budgets, ATP, inventory turns, obsolescence), place strategic purchase orders, and manage vendor relationships for timely material delivery.
Manage strategic supplier relationships to ensure TELUS standards for service levels and performance while securing competitive pricing and quality materials.
Optimize inventory distribution across TELUS channels to support network builds and customer sales, maintaining fill rates and inventory turns.
Troubleshoot systems and lead process improvements to maximize supplier/TELUS interface efficiency, reduce costs, and improve supply reliability and service levels.
Communicate data-driven supply insights and monitor supply chain risks to support informed decision-making across the organization.
Qualifications
What you bring
Bachelor's in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Operations, or related field
Experience in supply planning, materials management, or supply chain operations
Strong analytical capabilities; proficiency in SAP/ERP, Google Suite, visualization tools and procurement platforms
Financial acumen (ROI, CAPEX/OPEX/COGS) and understanding of supplier dynamics
Proven process optimization and TQM experience including product lifecycle management
A decisive, action-oriented communicator and collaborator with strong organizational skills, ownership mentality, and the influence to drive results across stakeholder groups with urgency and curiosity.
Great-to-haves
Supply Chain certification (CSCP, SCMP, APICS, or equivalent)
Experience in telecommunications, utilities, infrastructure, energy, or engineering
Hands-on proficiency with SAP S/4HANA or SAP IBP
DDMRP or S&OP process experience
Knowledge of Engineer-to-Order (ETO) supply chain models
Advanced Tableau proficiency for dashboard creation and data visualization
Intermediate knowledge of English is required because you will most of the time interact in English with external parties (clients, suppliers, candidates, external partners, etc.); interact in English with internal parties (colleagues, internal partners, stakeholders, etc.); and work with IT tools whose interface is only accessible in English as part of this position's main responsibilities given its national scope.
Salary Range: $57,000-$105,000
Performance Bonus or Sales Incentive Plan: 10%
Actual total compensation will be determined based on factors such as knowledge, skills, performance and experience. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply, even if the posted salary range doesn't match your expectations. We're open to discussing competitive compensation packages tailored to your experience level and expertise. TELUS offers rewarding benefits, which may vary per job function, such as:
Comprehensive total rewards package highlighting competitive salary and bonus structures, minimum 3 weeks of vacation, and flexible benefits plan to meet the needs of you and your family
