Regional Supply Planner

What does a Senior Regional Supply Planner do? Our Regional Supply Planners are the key contact points between our global Supply Centers and the EUROPE markets. They aim to optimize the Supply network plan for the full horizon by working cohesively and collaboratively with a range of partners whilst being responsive and flexible in their approach. Your goal will be to optimize the Supply Chain KPIs by balancing Service, Volumes & Inventory for our EUROPE supply network, by analyzing and evaluating the net dispatch requirements to satisfy customer needs considering network complexity and supply constraints. You will use market Intelligence & Analytics to own, review and understand the demand signal across the region and be an ambassador for market requirements within supply, material planning and operational teams. You are the main point of contact for a predefined group of markets on any supply related topics, and you will lead communication to the cluster Demand Planners to support local decision making and S&OP process. You are therefore a crucial input for market level decision making due to your analysis and understanding of key trends, tracking and coordinating of allocations, stock and inventory and leading of innovation projects.
