Blueair, as part of Unilever, is a rapidly growing global brand with consumer health at its core. We believe that no matter where you live, your lifestyle, or your specific health needs, air health is vital to your wellbeing. Over the last 30 years, Blueair has built a team of creative thinkers, health enthusiasts, and innovators who are passionate about our impactful products. We are seeking to add to our entrepreneurial and dynamic culture with a North America Supply Planner.

Position Description

The North America Supply Planner is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role responsible for running supply planning across the North American region. This role reports to the Chief Supply Chain Officer and partners closely with the NA Demand Planner, Sales, Product Marketing, global supply chain teams, and 3PL partners. The NA Supply Planner owns the end-to-end NA supply plan - from rolling forecasts and PO placement to inventory optimization and dashboard reporting. The ideal candidate is analytical, detail-oriented, operationally rigorous, and energized by building structure in a dynamic, growing environment.

We believe that we’re better together. Our team is hybrid and requires applicants to live commuting distance from a Blueair office (NYC or Chicago Loop) and be in-office Tuesday-Thursday.

At Blueair you’ll be part of a global team with creative minds collaborating from around the world. We work across time zones, so some flexibility in working hours is part of the adventure. It’s a chance to connect with passionate teammates worldwide, gain diverse perspectives, and help build a brand that resonates across cultures.
