Requirements
The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor or Master degree and has a minimum of 5-8 years of experience in various Supply Chain roles, with a strong preference of experience in Planning and Logistics. The candidate has good business acumen and is able to communicate with senior levels within Diversey (e.g. Country / Cluster Management Team), but also has a hands-on mentality and therefore capable and willing to dive into the details of SAP, other systems or processes.
Considering the nature of the role, the candidate is customer driven, action oriented and has an inclusive (collaborative) work style. The candidate ideally already has a good network in Diversey to support a successful fulfilment of the role, but building and maintaining a network is something that comes naturally to the ideal candidate.
