Job Description

Hybrid: This position requires you to work on-site 3 times a week (Tue to Thu)

We are seeking a high-performing Supply Chain Planning Senior professional to lead strategic planning activities with a strong focus on Future Material Flow Analysis (FMA) and end-to-end supply chain optimization

This role goes beyond traditional planning — connecting material flow strategy, supplier dynamics and global supply chain constraints to drive resilient, predictable and competitive operations. You will play a key role in how we anticipate, simulate and execute supply chain decisions in an increasingly complex global environment.

Key Responsibilities

Future Material Flow & Scenario Planning

  • Anticipate supply chain constraints and optimize material availability across the network.
  • Drive scenario simulation and forward-looking planning, enabling proactive decision-making under uncertainty.
  • Analyze and manage global supply chain interdependencies, including supplier risks, capacity constraints, transportation variability and geopolitical exposure.
  • Support network and footprint decisions by quantifying trade-offs between cost, lead time, risk and service.

Stock Policy

  • Define and evolve stock policy strategies (coverage, safety stock, segmentation, strategic banks), ensuring alignment with business volatility, lead times and supplier reliability.
  • Monitor and continuously improve core supply chain KPIs for the assigned portfolio: material availability, stock coverage / DOH, backorders, premium freight, excess & obsolete.
  • Ensure strong alignment with supplier policies, contractual frameworks and operational capabilities, making sure inventory strategies are executable.

End-to-End Integration

  • Act as a key integrator across Planning, Supply Operations, Logistics, Manufacturing, Purchasing and Global teams, aligning end-to-end decisions.
  • Be a key integration point for Supply Chain Planning within DSM forums or similar forums, translating demand and commercial scenarios into feasible supply and inventory strategies.
  • Monitor and improve end-to-end supply chain performance, identifying structural inefficiencies, systemic risks and opportunities for simplification.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, Supply Chain, Comex or related fields.
  • Strong experience in Supply Chain Planning / Material Planning, preferably in multi-plant or global environments.
  • Proven knowledge in Future Material Flow Analysis (FMA) or equivalent planning methodologies (e.g., medium/long-term material visibility, pipeline analysis, MRD readiness, ramp-up / ramp-down).
  • Solid understanding of stock policy design and supply chain optimization levers: safety stock, segmentation, lead time, buffers, sourcing strategies, dual sourcing, premium freight vs. inventory trade-offs.
  • Experience dealing with global suppliers and supply chain constraints (capacity, raw material, logistics, trade, geopolitical).
  • Fluent or Advanced English.

Digital & Data Strategy (Highly Desirable)

The following digital skills will be considered strong differentiators for this role:

  • Experience using data-driven insights and predictive analytics to evolve planning processes and material strategies.
  • Hands-on exposure to tools such as Python, SQL, Power BI or similar analytics solutions to model scenarios, stress-test assumptions and support decision-making.
  • Experience contributing to digital tools, dashboards, simulations or automation initiatives (e.g., FMA tools, pipeline dashboards, inventory analytics) to enhance planning visibility and efficiency.
  • Ability to translate business questions into analytical problems and convert data/analytics findings into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn new digital tools and analytics capabilities over time.
