Job TitleS&OE Manager Job Description

Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) Manager

Corporate Planning | Veghel, Netherlands

This role is for a senior planning professional who has built S&OE or demand planning capabilities before and wants to do it at corporate level. You'll shape how Vanderlande plans and executes across three business domains, with direct impact on how we align short-term decisions with long-term direction.

About Vanderlande

Vanderlande is headquartered in Veghel, with a global team and worldwide impact. We design and deliver automated logistics systems for airports and distribution (parcel) operations. We're part of Toyota Industries Corporation. Warehouse automation sits within TAL (Toyota Automated Logistics), a separate organization within the group.

The role

You’ll coordinate two connected planning capabilities across Vanderlande: S&OE (0– 6 month execution horizon) and Demand Planning (6–18 months). Both span our 3 business domains: Airports, Distribution, and Warehousing – part of TAL (Toyota Automated Logistics).

This is a corporate capability role. You co-define (in a matrix organization) the standards, governance and operating rhythm that all three domains follow in close cooperation with planners in the domains. About 60% of your time goes to S&OE: keeping the weekly execution cycle consistent, driving cross-domain alignment, and making sure short-term decisions happen quickly and transparently. The remaining 40% is demand planning: consolidating forecasts into one corporate demand plan and improving forecast accuracy.

Starting early FY27, you’ll also play a key role in our Integrated Business Planning (IBP) transformation, where demand, supply, resource and financial planning come together at company level.

What you’ll do

• Define and maintain corporate standards, KPIs and maturity models for S&OE and Demand Planning

• Coordinate planning activities and decision-making across Airports, Distribution and Warehousing

• Coach S&OE Coordinators and support Demand Planners with tools, training and governance

• Strengthen the connection between short-term execution and the tactical planning cycle (S&OP)

• Drive forecast accuracy and harmonization across domains

• Represent S&OE and Demand Planning in the IBP transformation program

• Partner with Anaplan, Power BI and ERP/DRP teams on tooling and data quality

What you bring

• 5 - 10+ years in S&OP, S&OE, demand planning or supply chain planning

• Track record in building planning capabilities and designing processes

• Experience in a matrix organization, ideally across regions or business domains

• Strong facilitation and coaching skills that make cross-functional meetings productive

• Analytical thinker who can translate complexity into clear recommendations

• Comfortable presenting to senior leadership and C-level

• Sharp, executive-ready PowerPoint narrative builder

• Experience with Anaplan, ERP/DRP systems and Power BI is a strong plus

What we offer

We offer a position in an international and professional working environment with room for personal development and growth.

This position offers a competitive salary range of € 6.500 to € 7.600 gross per month (excluding 8% holiday allowance).

On top of your fixed salary, you ’ ll receive the following secondary benefits:

• 40 vacation days (20 statutory days and a flexible budget worth 20 days)

• Flexible working hours

• A hybrid workplace (40% working from home and 60% in the office)

• A Health & Wellbeing budget worth € 300 per calendar year.

• Commuting allowance, including full reimbursement of travel by public transport

• Working from home allowance

• Collective pension scheme and discount on additional health insurance

• On-site company health centres with a gym, physiotherapists and occupational therapists

• Vanderlande Academy and training facilities to boost your skills

• A variety in Vanderlande Network communities and initiatives
