Global Demand & Supply Planning Manager | Herts| Permanent
TalentPool is partnering exclusively with a well established, family owned manufacturer in the building materials sector to find a Global Demand & Supply Planning Manager.
This is a newly elevated, strategically critical role for the business. You'll lead the development of the Global D&SP function, building it into a genuine centre of excellence that aligns global demand with production efficiency and stock availability, while managing working capital across two major product divisions.
What you'll be doing:
- Defining and implementing a Group wide Demand & Supply Planning process across all business units, working closely with Commercial, Operations, Finance, Marketing and Logistics
- Leading the monthly Global Executive D&SP meeting, presenting trade off scenarios and gaining sign off
- Owning global stock across both divisions, ensuring availability and mobilisation to meet customer needs worldwide
- Aligning operational and financial plans against a consistent, credible baseline
- Managing and developing a team covering Planning, Stock Deployment and Inter Company functions
- Driving process optimisation and continuous improvement across systems and tools
What's on offer:
A genuinely global remit with around 25% international travel, real influence at senior stakeholder level, and the chance to shape a function from a strategic standpoint rather than simply run one.
This role would suit an experienced Supply Chain leader from a complex, multi site manufacturing environment, ideally with strong S&OP and JD Edwards (or similar ERP) experience, who is ready for a Senior Manager / Director adjacent role with genuine scope to make their mark.
