SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE…

Pure Storage is building a circular supply chain to power its next phase of growth, and our Reverse & Remanufacturing Operations team sits at the center of that transformation. We are seeking a Supply Planner, Reverse & Remanufacturing Logistics to manage the dynamic flow of returned assets and optimize their redeployment across multiple channels.

This is an important role at Pure Storage. You will plan the returns of units from the sales upgrade cycle and determine the best path to maximize their value—whether that’s remanufacturing to new specifications for sale in new markets, refurbishment for our Service teams, use in our Storage-as-a-Service (Evergreen//One), or deployment into our Proof-of-Concept (POC) pool.

The Supply Planner makes critical supply commitments to Sales, Service, and Evergreen teams. These commitments must be honored, and you will be expected to lean in, influence stakeholders, and shape outcomes to ensure delivery against Pure’s business promises.

This is a new role in a fast-emerging business line—roles, responsibilities, and processes are still being defined. It’s a unique opportunity to help build Pure’s reverse and remanufacturing supply chain from the ground up, bringing an automation-first, productivity mindset with no legacy processes holding us back. This is a creator role where you’ll have the chance to shape how we operate and scale.

If you are energized by circular economy challenges, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to design supply processes that directly impact revenue and margins—this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING…

Planning & Allocation

• Forecast and plan returns from customer upgrades, mapping inbound units to their most valuable downstream use (remanufacture, refurbish, Evergreen//One, or POC).
• Make and honor supply commitments to Sales, Service, and Evergreen teams, ensuring allocations are delivered on time and in full.
• Drive decision-making on trade-offs across business lines to ensure the highest-value use of recovered equipment.

Inventory & Materials Optimization

• Monitor inventory health across remanufactured, refurbished, and POC asset pools.
• Identify and execute strategies to utilize excess materials and parts at contract manufacturers, reducing waste and improving margins.
• Partner with Inventory Management to align asset recovery with replenishment needs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Reverse & Remanufacturing Operations, Demand Planning, Logistics, and Order Admin teams to synchronize returns forecasting and supply plans.
• Collaborate with contract manufacturers and service partners to plan reprocessing, upgrades, and component use.
• Partner with Finance and Product Management to ensure allocation decisions align with business priorities and cost targets.

Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Build reporting and planning tools to track returns volumes, allocation outcomes, yields, and margin impact.
• Analyze data to identify opportunities for better reuse, faster cycle times, and reduced inventory exposure.
• Shape and implement new planning processes with a focus on automation, productivity, and scalability from the start.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM…

Experience & Technical Skills

• 10+ years of experience in supply planning, reverse logistics, manufacturing planning, or related supply chain roles.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills, including Excel and ERP/Planning tools (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Salesforce).
• Knowledge of contract manufacturing, inventory optimization, and circular economy principles.
• Familiarity with asset recovery, ITAD, or remanufacturing processes is a plus.

Collaboration & Mindset

• High ownership mindset with a strong sense of accountability for honoring supply commitments.
• Clear communicator with strong influencing skills—able to shape outcomes across Sales, Service, and Operations.
• Excited by the opportunity to build something new: comfortable with ambiguity, entrepreneurial, and eager to design processes that will scale.
• Automation-first, productivity-focused mindset: you look for ways to streamline, digitize, and simplify.

We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
