About the Role:
Planet is currently seeking a Supply Chain Analyst to join our team in San Francisco, CA. In this role you will act as the internal auditor for our Supply Chain organization, giving the business, Finance and our auditors confidence that every purchase order, receipt and inventory transaction is accurate, approved and supported by evidence. You will own the testing and monitoring of Supply Chain SOX controls, review transaction data across our procurement and inventory systems, and partner with Finance, Internal Audit and our external auditors to keep us audit-ready year-round. You will also turn what you find into lasting fixes: cleaner data, tighter processes and dashboards that surface issues before they become audit findings. If you have a sharp eye for detail, enjoy digging into transaction data and want to help a fast-growing satellite manufacturer scale with strong controls, this is the role for you. This is a full-time, in-office position based in our San Francisco office 5 days per week.

Impact You'll Own:
Act as the Supply Chain internal auditor by documenting, testing, and monitoring key SOX controls across procure-to-pay and inventory, including PO approvals, receipt accuracy, three-way matching, supplier master changes, segregation of duties, and inventory counts. Maintain Supply Chain control narratives, process flows, and risk-control matrices, keeping them current as systems and processes evolve. Execute periodic control self-assessments and transaction sampling ahead of audit cycles, tracking any identified deficiencies to on-time remediation. Serve as the primary Supply Chain liaison for Internal Audit and external auditors, coordinating walkthroughs, fulfilling PBC sample requests, and delivering audit evidence on schedule. Audit purchase orders, change orders, receipts, and inventory adjustments across NetSuite and Coupa to ensure accuracy, proper approvals, and complete supporting documentation. Monitor open and aged POs, past-due receipts, and received-not-invoiced items, partnering with buyers and Finance to clear stale transactions prior to period-end close. Support month-end and quarter-end close activities, including cutoff reviews, inventory reconciliations, cycle counts, and accrual variance analyses with Accounting. Develop exception reports and dashboards (using SQL, Google Sheets, or Looker Studio) to identify and follow up on unapproved, out-of-policy, or inconsistent transactions. Design and implement scalable process and system controls while producing SOPs and training programs for procurement, receiving, and warehouse personnel.
