About The Position

The Supply Planner is part of a supply chain team that is responsible for overseeing and optimizing the inventory planning and procurement cost across the supply chain network. The team works closely with the Commercial teams of multiple Business Units, each serving an Industry or Product Line. Success or failure is largely determined by the proactive attitude of the planner and their ability to coordinate with others while challenging their supply chain expertise. Determining the risks for the supply (what can go wrong), focus on clear communication (does the other party understand my plans) and a goal-oriented approach to supply issues (what needs to be done to achieve the desired supply, inventory and service position). As a Supply Planner, you’ll manage a defined portfolio of products and coordinate the end-to-end supply chain across Logistics, Operations, Customer Service, and Commercial teams. Your goal is to ensure timely, cost-effective product delivery while balancing inventory, supplier constraints, and strategic business inputs.
