• Maintaining accurate ERP data, BOM structures, stock information and inventory records
• Supporting production planning and material requirements
• Following up on technical, delivery and quality issues with suppliers
• Reading and understanding technical drawings for movements, cases and watch components

• 5 to 10 years of experience in the Swiss watchmaking industry, within a Maison, component supplier, movement manufacturer or case manufacturer

• The ability to read and understand technical drawings
• Experience in procurement, planning, stock management and supplier follow up
• A good understanding of ERP and MRP systems, ideally Odoo or a comparable platform

This is an opportunity to play a central role in the development of a growing independent Maison, with direct responsibility for a critical function and a visible impact on the company's operations and production.

If you combine technical understanding, strong supply chain expertise and the ambition to play a central role in a growing independent Maison, we would be pleased to hear from you.
