Are you interested in joining a fantastic team of 10 Planners creating the foundation for optimising the entire Arla Foods Ingredients value chain? AFI Global S&OP are seeking an additional experienced Master Planner with a strong analytical mindset to enhance our planning processes as the current Master Planner advanced within the team.

Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) is an independent company within the Arla Foods Group with an ambition to become the true global leader of the value-added whey business.

Our Global S&OP team manages the entire value chain from Demand- and Master Production Planning to Logistics and Business Intelligence. We facilitate a well-driven monthly S&OP process balancing the future 15-month demand and supply and have recently implemented a global S&OE process. Next step in our planning development is to move the current excel-based planning tools into SAP IBP and we believe you will have a key role in this.

How you will make an impact

Your main responsibility will be to handle the Master Production Planning for our Global Protein material groups across production sites. The majority of our protein products are produced to stock, and your key success criteria will be to secure a balanced stock for the coming 15 months. In close cooperation with your colleagues, you create the relevant overview and develop scenarios for the S&OP process. You excel in finding a harmonious balance between mitigating issues with stakeholders and effectively driving actions through others.

In particular, you will:

  1. Develop and manage Master Production Planning for our Global Protein material groups across production sites.
  2. Identify imbalances between supply and demand, and coordinate solutions/scenarios/recommendations to be addressed in the S&OP process or to the S&OE process.
  3. Prepare meeting material and lead Supply Review Meetings in the monthly S&OP process.
  4. Actively participate in implementing SAP IBP for our Master Production Planning together with the internal team and external consultants.
  5. Set up master data and develop planning concepts across sites.
  6. Follow up on relevant KPIs and lead proactive dialogs across Arla and AFI functions to optimize the value chain.
  7. In close cooperation with your planning colleagues, drive the continuous development of our core planning capabilities.

You have a solution-oriented and analytical approach

Ideally, we are looking for a candidate who has a mix of the following competencies:

  1. Solid experience in the Master Production Planning processes within an FMCG organization or similar.
  2. Relevant degree within supply chain or a related field.
  3. Experience with Master Production Planning in an ERP system such as SAP APO or even better in SAP IBP as IBP will be the future planning platform in AFI.
  4. Strong data analysis skills and a preference for making fact-based decisions in collaboration with stakeholders.
  5. Ability to work independently while recognizing the value of collaborating with colleagues.
  6. Advanced proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint (thinkCell), and BI tools including SAP Hana/APO/IBP, with a solid understanding of different supply chain activities and processes.
  7. Persistence and a passion for developing current ways of working.
  8. Thrives working in an organization that is constantly growing and likes to take ownership of their responsibilities.
  9. Excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written.

What we offer

You can look forward to a job with great opportunity to engage in cooperation with a long range of competent and specialized stakeholders in and outside Arla Foods Ingredients and where you can challenge your skills in an international environment.

As a team, we value work-life flexibility, personal development, and the ability to have an impact on own tasks and responsibilities.

Curious to join us?

Please send your application to us as soon as possible, since we are conducting interviews on an ongoing basis and will close the recruitment once our new colleague is found. For additional information, please contact Head of AFI Global S&OP Morten Duhn Strømgaard +45 87332795.

We have a purpose for Good
At Arla, we strive to unlock the highest potential in each other while working together to create a sustainable future of dairy. We call it Stronger People Stronger Planet and it is deeply anchored in our organization and founded on our commitment to respecting human rights, increasing access to healthy dairy nutrition, inspiring good food habits, and improving the environment for future generations. In order to succeed, we need to hire people with a sustainable mindset. Could this be you?
