• Contribute to the development of Axis' transformation capabilities, project portfolio management practices, and the continued growth of the team
• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders, IT, and external partners to ensure alignment across processes, systems, and organizational goals

We are looking for

• A relevant university degree and several years of experience leading complex Supply Chain, Operations, or Business Transformation initiatives
• Proven experience leading Supply Planning, Planning Transformation, or Integrated Planning initiatives from concept through implementation and adoption
• Strong knowledge of Supply Planning and end-to-end supply chain processes, including planning-related disciplines such as S&OP/S&OE
