• You will build, manage, and optimize the master production schedule by aligning sales forecasts, inventory levels, operational constraints, and production plans, using data-driven insights to maintain flow and responsiveness across a complex, multinational manufacturing network.
• Day to day, you will lead demand analysis by challenging forecasts using MAPE and BIAS metrics, facilitate monthly Demand SIOP meetings, and translate commercial plans into actionable production schedules that balance service levels with resource constraints.

• You will drive inventory optimization initiatives, targeting the reduction of aged and blocked stock while improving accuracy across raw, semi‑finished, and finished goods through root cause analysis and cross-functional coordination.
• You will coordinate intercompany and internal plant shipments, ensuring material flows are accurate, system signals are correct, and logistics execution supports schedule integrity across Arxada’s 24 production sites.
• You will collaborate closely with Operations, Procurement, Production Planning, Sales, Customer Service, and Logistics teams to ensure alignment, transparency, and effective communication across the entire value chain, acting as a central hub for planning integrity.
• You will contribute to continuous improvement by presenting data clearly, identifying trends, and supporting process enhancements that increase efficiency, reduce waste, and strengthen Arxada’s competitive position in specialty chemicals and performance materials.
• You will gain deep exposure to end-to-end supply chain operations in a global, regulated industry, developing expertise in SIOP, SAP, demand planning, and inventory management while working within a purpose-driven organization committed to sustainability and innovation.
• You will have the opportunity to grow professionally in a stable, multinational environment where your analytical rigor, collaboration, and problem-solving skills are valued, with potential pathways into broader supply chain leadership roles across Arxada’s global footprint.
