* Coach and develop a high-performing team of 6–9 direct reports
* Achieve near-100% stock availability while reducing waste and cost

What You’ll Bring:
* 5+ years’ experience in senior planning roles within FMCG, across multiple markets
* 3+ years in team leadership with a strong track record in performance management
* Hands-on knowledge of SAP IBP, S&OP processes, and planning systems
* Strong commercial acumen and a drive to continuously improve systems and outcomes
* A collaborative, solutions-focused mindset and confidence in working cross-functionally
Why Join Monster?
* Be part of a global brand that’s edgy, fast-paced, and performance-driven
* Shape operations for a business that moved over 138 million cases in EMEA last year
* Enjoy a role that blends strategic influence with real-time business impact
