Jobbeschreibung

Operations Planning & Analysis (OPA) Lead

The company and business sits in a tightly regulated, high-stakes industry and is transitioning from small-batch production into full-volume manufacturing, this hire is central to making that jump work.

You'd step into a lean, senior operations group at a make-or-break moment for the business: output is ramping fast, but there's no established planning cadence yet. You'd be the one to create it, working hand-in-hand with a BI/Reporting Analyst and reporting straight to the director Operations Exellence.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS REALLY ABOUT

This is the person who turns operational chaos into a reliable rhythm. You'll architect and run the sales & operations planning cycle, decide what gets measured and how, and produce the weekly and monthly reporting that leadership uses to actually steer the business. Nothing here exists yet - you're building the entire planning infrastructure from a blank page, and growing a small team as you go.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Architect and drive the S&OP cycle, bringing demand, supply, inventory, and financial views into one coherent picture
• Decide the operational KPI set from scratch - what gets tracked, how often, and by whom
• Own the weekly and monthly leadership reporting packages, including actuals-vs-plan and the story behind the variances
• Work closely with the BI/Reporting Analyst to make sure the numbers rest on solid data foundations
• Turn loose operational questions into repeatable analytical models and tools
• Hire, coach, and manage a Planning Analyst and a BI/Reporting Analyst
• Serve as the trusted analytical link between the operations floor and the executive team

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 7 to 10 years working in supply chain, operations planning, or FP&A inside a manufacturing business
• A genuine builder, someone who has stood up or overhauled a planning process, not simply run one that already existed
• Proof that leadership has relied on reports you've produced to make real calls
• Strong modelling ability in Excel and/or SQL
• Hands-on background designing S&OP frameworks and KPI systems
• The confidence to tell leadership what they need to hear, communicated cleanly and without ego
• A degree in Industrial Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, or a related field
