You might come from FMCG, manufacturing, utilities, logistics, or even a strategic account/project management role. What matters is your ability to operate with senior stakeholders, communicate clearly, and demonstrate strategic initiative.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
* 1-2 + years’ experience in supply chain management, supplier engagement, forecasting, or performance improvement
* Strong communication skills, especially with senior internal and external stakeholders
