- Monitor & Improve KPIs – Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as inventory turns, service levels, forecast accuracy, and supply reliability, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with business goals.

- A Master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field.
- Hands-on experience in Supply Planning, Demand Planning, or Production Planning (preferably in Pharma or FMCG).

- Advanced proficiency in Excel and SAP-R3 (Power BI, Kinaxis is a plus!).
- A natural leader, able to drive projects and teams toward success.
- A collaborator who values diverse perspectives and thrives in a multicultural environment.
- A problem-solver who thinks outside the box and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.
