Your Role

As the Development Manager, Group Supply Chain, you will lead transformative projects aimed at optimising our global supply chain operations. You will play a crucial role in planning, executing, and rolling out projects to our regional sites, ensuring they meet agreed timeframes, scopes, and budgets while having a long-term impact on KPIs. With a strong focus on business results and stakeholder alignment, you will drive improvements across the organisation’s supply chain processes and strategy.

The Group Supply Chain serves as the central link between our local business units and the Group, facilitating seamless integration and alignment of supply chain initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with the director to maintain and evolve the supply chain roadmap and strategy.

The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic environment where things are constantly evolving and enjoys the challenge of adapting to change. You have a strong passion for working with data but also enjoy collaborating with stakeholders at all levels, as you will play a crucial role in implementation. You want to leverage your expertise to create clear and practical guides that help others understand and excel in new processes or systems. We imagine you bring the following:

• Experience with implementing ERP or other planning systems and processes.
• It is advantageous if you have worked with IBP solutions and ideally SAP IBP.
• A degree and/or practical experience related to supply chain management.
• A passion for creating strong user solutions that enable our colleagues to succeed.
