PepsiCo Supply Chain Manager Letter of Interest
August 1, 2026
Subject: Letter of Interest for Supply Chain Manager Opportunities at PepsiCo
Dear PepsiCo Recruiting Team,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in Supply Chain Manager opportunities at PepsiCo. As an experienced supply
chain professional with over eight years of progressive leadership in high-velocity consumer packaged goods (CPG)
manufacturing, distribution, and end-to-end network planning, I have long admired PepsiCo for its operational excellence, iconic
brand portfolio, and industry-defining global supply chain leadership. PepsiCo’s commitment to driving sustainable growth
through PepsiCo Positive (pep+), digital transformation, and continuous process optimization sets the gold standard for modern
food and beverage manufacturing. I am eager to contribute my expertise in demand forecasting, Sales and Operations Planning
(S&OP), inventory optimization, Lean Six Sigma methodologies, and cross-functional leadership to support PepsiCo in building
a resilient, agile, and sustainable supply chain network.
Currently serving as Senior Supply Chain & Logistics Manager at Apex Global CPG Operations, I oversee end-to-end supply
chain functions supporting $140 million in annual product distribution across regional manufacturing plants and distribution
hubs. My educational background includes a Master of Science in Supply Chain Management from Michigan State University
and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Over the past eight years, my core responsibilities have centered on
leading integrated S&OP cycles in SAP ERP, developing dynamic demand forecasting models in Power BI and Tableau,
managing multi-tier vendor procurement, and enforcing Lean production scheduling across high-speed packaging lines.
Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on marrying data-driven supply chain analytics with strategic operational
planning to improve product availability, reduce logistics overhead, and minimize operational waste. Recently, I spearheaded an
integrated inventory optimization and route re-engineering project across our regional distribution network. By leveraging
predictive demand modeling in Python and re-architecting warehouse staging buffers, my team improved overall forecast
accuracy by 22%, increased inventory turnover from 6.4 to 8.2 times annually, and reduced out-of-stock incidents during peak
promotional periods by 38%. Furthermore, my implementation of Lean Six Sigma workflow improvements lowered annual freight
transportation costs by $2.3 million while decreasing carbon emissions by 14%.
Building a world-class, resilient supply chain requires active cross-functional alignment and clear communication across internal
and external stakeholder networks. In my daily operational practice, I partner closely alongside procurement teams,
manufacturing plant directors, third-party logistics providers, warehouse leads, finance managers, sales directors, and executive
leadership. I excel at aligning demand forecasts with plant capacity constraints, negotiating win-win service level agreements
with freight suppliers, and conducting rigorous KPI reporting to eliminate supply chain bottlenecks. This collaborative approach
guarantees that high-demand product lines transition smoothly from raw material sourcing through manufacturing to retail store
shelves, ensuring maximum customer satisfaction.
What draws me most compellingly to PepsiCo is its visionary focus on digital supply chain innovation, operational agility, and
transformative environmental sustainability goals. PepsiCo’s ability to efficiently serve millions of retail customers and
consumers daily while driving circular packaging, regenerative agriculture, and net-zero emissions demonstrates true industry
leadership. Joining PepsiCo as a Supply Chain Manager would offer me the extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with world-
class operations talent, leverage advanced data analytics, and help build a reliable, future-ready supply chain that supports
PepsiCo’s iconic beverage and snack brands globally.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued leadership in global CPG operations. I welcome the opportunity to
discuss how my supply chain management background, process improvement track record, and passion for operational
excellence align with PepsiCo’s strategic growth objectives and supply chain initiatives.
Sincerely,
Raymond Brooks
Senior Supply Chain & Logistics Manager
Apex Global CPG Operations • Chicago, Illinois
