The Opportunity

To drive the end-to-end Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, ensuring alignment between demand, supply, and financial plans.

• Run Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) to identify and anticipate capacity constraints across production and suppliers.
• Define and contribute to stock policies and inventory strategies to achieve service level and cost objectives.

Execution

• Execute the operational S&OP process, consolidating demand and supply inputs to support decision-making and scenario evaluation.
• Manage replenishment and production planning activities to ensure product availability across the network.
• Align cross-functional stakeholders (Commercial, Marketing, Finance) to ensure execution of agreed plans.

Control & Performance Management

• Monitor forecast accuracy and continuously improve demand planning performance.
• Track service levels, stock availability, and inventory evolution across the network.
• Analyze deviations between forecast, budget, and actuals, identifying risks and opportunities.
