Senior Manager, Customer Supply Chain & Sales

Shape the Future of Customer Supply Chain at the World's Largest Dairy Company

What if you could do more than manage service levels?

What if you could influence customer strategy, drive transformational supply chain initiatives, and help define how a growing business engages with some of its most important customers?

At Lactalis US Yogurt, we're looking for a strategic and customer-focused supply chain leader to serve as the primary liaison between our business and key customers. In this highly visible role, you'll build executive-level partnerships, drive service excellence, lead critical improvement initiatives, and help shape the future customer supply chain roadmap for our yogurt portfolio.

• Build and strengthen senior-level customer relationships.

• Lead and develop a high-performing customer supply chain team.
• Help define the future state of customer supply chain capabilities across the yogurt business.

If you're energized by solving complex business challenges, working cross-functionally, and creating win-win outcomes for customers and the business, we'd love to hear from you.

In this role, you will:
