- Own supply and production planning, working closely with production, sales, and logistics to secure product availability and optimize cash and inventory levels
- Drive performance through data, setting KPIs for suppliers and inventory, using SAP insights, and leading continuous improvement initiatives
- Manage and develop a small team, guiding them through change, addressing resistance, and creating a collaborative and accountable working culture
What We're Looking For
- An academic degree or vocational training in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Procurement, or a related field
- Several years of practical experience in procurement and logistics, preferably in the industrial sector, as well as experience from people management roles
- People leadership, stakeholder management and communication skills
- Ability to take charge in a transformation process - build structure, processes, KPIs, and contract management from the ground up and lead experienced teams through change with clarity, empathy, and determination
- Solid SAP expertise and confidence working with data to support planning, inventory, and supplier performance

- We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
- You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
