Supply Chain Planning Assistant Analyst

Overview

As a Supply Planner, you will be the mastermind behind the comprehensive supply plan for our designated manufacturing facilities, ensuring we hit our service targets. You will convert preliminary capacity plans into a daily supply plan within a 0-16 weeks horizon. You will manage inventory and waste risks and create the distribution plan. You will also support operational planning and exceptional course correction. This role is part of our Capability Centers from 2024, so there will be an initial level of ambiguity as the processes are adopted during the transition. Therefore, we need someone who is flexible and can adapt as processes are primarily fixed then shifted and improved over subsequent strategy cycles.

• Being the integration point between the Market and Capability Centers and enabling product supply for the commercial change agenda.
• Supporting new product development launches and phase-in phase-out changes by ensuring supply planning systems are set up in advance and effectively communicating changes to the scheduling teams and the supply plan through the appropriate channels.
