The Global Materials Strategy & Planning Manager translates long-term finished goods and production plans into a single, global material requirements strategy. Acting as the critical link between Global Planning and Procurement, the role creates visibility of future demand, aligns supplier capacity with business needs and unlocks purchasing scale through consolidated demand, strategic volume allocation and long-term supplier agreements. You will establish a centralised, long-term material planning process, replacing fragmented site-level forecasting with a single source of truth for Procurement and supplier engagement at spend-pool level.

As a key partner to the Director, Global Planning (RCCP & S OP), you will ensure that material and finished goods capacity, demand and risk insights are embedded in the global S OP/IBP cycle.

In this role you will… … build and lead global input material planning, enabling fact-based decisions and long-term supply assurance through clear capacity-to-demand visibility and proactive gap identification using Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP). Working closely with Procurement, you will combine supplier capacity intelligence with Haleon demand insights to anticipate market trends, risks and disruption. You will also develop S OP/IBP reporting and scenario models, bringing constraints, mitigation options and decision-ready trade-offs into the monthly global S OP/IBP process.
