This is a chance to build a European S&OP function from the ground up for a fast-growing international consumer products business. You’ll play a key role in a major transformation and help create new ways of working across the region.
The role
You’ll design and lead the European S&OP process, reporting to the EU Planning Director. You’ll set the monthly planning cycle across demand, supply and financial reconciliation and bring Sales, Marketing, Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Logistics and Finance together around one plan. You’ll create meeting structures, templates and agendas, build KPI reporting, and launch the process in either the UK or Germany before rolling it out across Europe. You’ll also train local planners, support future planning tool selection, and produce reports and insights that help leaders make decisions. You’ll chair Executive S&OP meetings and drive longer-term strategic planning.
About you
You’ll have S&OP experience in supply chain and a proven track record of implementing or significantly redesigning an S&OP or IBP process. You’ll be comfortable building frameworks where formal processes are still developing and happy working hands-on with Excel, Google Sheets and data. You’ll be able to influence senior stakeholders, manage competing priorities and hold teams accountable. Strong communication, project management skills, resilience and emotional intelligence are important. Additional European language skills would be an advantage.
The package
The salary is £70,000 to £80,000 plus a discretionary annual bonus based on individual performance. The role is based in London with hybrid working. If you live within 75 minutes of the office, you’ll work three days in the office and two from home. If you live further away, you’ll work two days in the office and three from home.
