Location: Hershey, PA

Summary:

The Commodities coordinator is responsible for the entire distribution process of the commodities which they are responsible for including planning and scheduling movement from suppliers/warehouses to Hershey plants/co-man operations.

Responsibilities:

• Manage commodity inventories. The Distribution Coordinators manage Hershey-owned commodities inventories at outside warehouses. The Distribution Coordinators work with vendor and warehouse personnel to obtain warehouse receipts that are the legal document establishing Hershey's ownership of goods, and they then enter the goods receipt in SAP. On an ongoing basis, the Distribution Coordinators deploy inventory from the outside warehouses to our plants and co-manufacturers, and they do this through SAP transactions and direct coordination with the warehouses. At each month-end, the Distribution Coordinators examine and approve the outside warehouse storage and handling invoices for payment, and importantly, they reconcile all warehouse inventory quantities to SAP each month.

• Arrange and coordinate shipping. The Distribution Coordinators go through several steps in SAP in order to enable the planned deliveries on PO's or Stock Transport Orders to flow into Hershey's Transportation Manager software. This enables the centralized planning of inbound and outbound freight for materials that have been enabled in the TM system. The TM system currently configured does not handle liquid tanker shipments. In addition, not all vendors are set up for TM shipping for truckload shipments. As a result, our Distribution Coordinators communicate directly with carriers to establish weekly delivery schedules for inbound loads to our plants and co-manufacturers. This is an extensive responsibility for liquids (cocoa butter and liquor) because plant and producer schedules change frequently and internal storage is limited, and therefore many changes are made throughout the week, requiring close monitoring and communication among parties..

• Execute PO's and Sales orders. The Commodities Coordinator manages the quantity draws on the contracts in SAP for commodities for which they are responsible. Once a contract is in place, a series of purchase orders needs to be created for the individual delivers of contracted materials to plants or co-manufacturers. The Distribution Coordinators create many of the PO's and they monitor deliveries against contracted quantities to ensure the contract quantities have been fulfilled. An important part of PO management is the monitoring and resolution of blocked invoices and Goods Receipt / Invoice Receipt discrepancies. Hershey sells major raw materials to co-manufactures for use in making finished products. The Distribution Coordinators arrange for delivery to co-manufacturers directly from vendors, outside warehouses, and the blancher/roaster. They then execute Sales orders in SAP that generate invoices to the blancher for raw peanuts to be roasted for the plants/co-manufacturers. The Coordinators are often asked to follow up with the blancher/co-manufacturers in the event of invoice disputes or non- payment.

Qualifications

• Education: BS degree

• Required Experience: Minimum five years progressive experience in Analysis, Accounting, Finance or related areas.

• Preferred Experience: Minimum of three years commodity experience with future market exposure is preferred.

Required Skills:

• Strong Analytical and math skills.

• Ability to formulate data, analyze information and make decisions.

• Self starter, strong initiative, works within deadlines.

• Works independently with limited supervision.

• Communicates effectively, both oral and written.

• Knowledge of suppliers, carriers and warehouses.

• Ability to interact and work towards common goal with other Company departments.

Preferred Skills:

• Knowledge of commodity (futures/physicals) markets and associated terminology is strongly preferred.
