Replenishment Planner

We’re looking for a Replenishment Planner to play a key role in the implementation of the company’s major transformation program, Infinity. This program aims to fundamentally redefine supply chain processes through enhanced end-to-end visibility, standardization, and operational efficiency.

This position is embedded within the newly created Management Entity Supply Chain Center (ME SCC),a structure designed to centralize planning expertise and streamline execution across Market Companies (MCs). Acting on behalf of MCs, the Replenishment Planner is responsible for developing and executing replenishment plans, placing intercompany orders based on updated planning parameters, transactional data, and aligned inventory policies.

The role also ensures the accuracy of live inventory projections, proactively manages exceptions, and contributes to the optimization of replenishment processes across entities. As part of the Infinity transformation, this position enables ME-level synergies, eliminates duplication across MCs, and supports the transition toward a more agile and standardized planning model.
