You will also lead two direct demand and supply planning colleagues, providing direction, coaching, and support to build capability and ensure excellent execution across the planning function. Working in a matrix environment, you’ll partner closely with commercial, finance, logistics, procurement, manufacturing, and regional supply teams to deliver the best possible outcomes for customers and the business.
