We operate in some of the fastest moving and most complex markets in the world; so managing our supply chains demands a capacity for clear thinking and decisive action.
In an unpredictable world where successful businesses increasingly rely on global sourcing, we value agility, flexibility and an out-of-the-box approach in our supply chain professionals. As well as a keen sense of responsibility – after all, having the right products are in the right place at the right time has a direct effect on bottom line.
Yet keeping our production lines fuelled and worldwide product distribution on track are not the only supply chain challenges you can tackle. We also have teams of professionals to take care of the innovation process to ensure that advanced, relevant new products move smoothly from development into production. You may therefore work as closely with design engineers as you do with suppliers and production departments.
With roles in supply chain logistics, finance and accounting, we provide the opportunity to move beyond purely product-related supply chain management, enabling you to advance your career by helping to shape the way that our global organization operates.

You will proactively match supply & demand in close collaboration with marketing and sales departments to hit KPI targets relating to delivery, ordering and inventory for a particular product line. With the huge volumes of products processed on a daily basis and the correlation between stock levels and profitability, this role has a significant impact on our bottom line and therefore calls for responsibility, insight and a keen eye for details.
