• Operational Problem Solving: Respond to shortages, delivery deviations and planning exceptions, assess potential impact and coordinate timely solutions with relevant stakeholders.
• Planning Excellence: Maintain accurate planning and procurement master data and contribute to improvements that make day-to-day planning more effective.

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field.
• Relevant experience in material, supply or production planning, ideally within a manufacturing or similarly dynamic supply-chain environment.
• Comfortable working with SAP or similar planning systems and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, to support planning decisions.
• You combine analytical thinking with clear communication and collaboration skills.
• You communicate fluently in English, both written and spoken.
