• Develop effective planning processes, data analytics and supporting IT tools.
• Lead, coach and develop the international S&OP team.
• Drive change and embed consistent ways of working throughout the organisation.

Your profile:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Economics or a related field.
