Regional Supply Chain Planner

Do you want to develop and learn more about Supply Chain Management while enhancing your own strategic planning skills and building an interesting network spread across the globe? Then this might be the perfect opportunity for you

We’re now looking for a visionary, organized and team-oriented Regional Supply Chain Planner for the Africa region. You’re part of a multicultural team, as part of the Stationary Crushing division, and you take lead in ensuring an optimized balance of services and net working capital that also meet our business targets. Welcome to our Sandvik world

About your job
In this position – where analytics, collaboration and networks are keys – you interact with our sales teams in the Africa region by supporting them to grow in the business and ensure a successful operations planning process. Your aim is to enable us to carry out replenishment plans, forecast and evaluate optimal stock levels at our warehouses around the region. You spot trends and analyze data in a state-of-the-art planning tool, and you undertake weekly operational plans while considering KPIs such as inventory levels, days in inventory, obsolescence, fill rate, forecast bias and backlog.

You interact with relevant stakeholders to align customer expectations and demand planning, review inventory parameters and balance stock levels with our front- and backline. You lead the S&OP process, and to stay on top of our game, you drive and participate in improvements and best practices in our systems, processes and ways of working.

This position is based in Svedala – a fast and easy commute from surrounding cities such as Malmö, Lund and Ystad, and with our site located just across from the train station. We offer the opportunity to combine on-site and remote work. Some travel in the region is included as you’re visiting sales teams and customers to further support and understand the needs of our business.

Your profile
We’re looking for someone with a degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics or Industrial Economy, and a core understanding of Supply Chain Management. A few years' experience of working in the field is valued, but we’re also open to applications from recent graduates with the right skills, personality and attitude. You’re an advanced user of Excel and it’s beneficial to have skills in SAP and experience working in Logility Voyager Planning or other planning systems. We operate in a global setting, which calls for fluency in English, verbally and written, while knowledge of Swedish is a plus.

As a natural collaborator with great communication abilities, you easily build and maintain trust within your networks. You both inspire and challenge stakeholders in performing accurate reporting and planning. With a curious, analytical and strategic mindset, you’re able to understand, plan and forecast numbers and statistics. You thrive on identifying problems and finding the best possible solutions and you embrace improvements by being creative and taking new initiatives.
