- Champion inventory optimisation, with a focus on reducing slow-moving and obsolete stock (SLOBS).
- Support new product introductions, ensuring smooth transitions and accurate master data management.
- Collaborate on supply chain continuous improvement initiatives, alongside the Life Sciences Planning Manager.

**Who are we looking for?**

We’re seeking a proactive and commercially minded professional with a strong background in demand planning and stakeholder engagement. To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

- A bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Business, Statistics, or a related field.
- 5+ years’ experience in demand planning, S&OP, or inventory management.
- Strong influencing skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across commercial teams.
- Advanced problem-solving and analytical capabilities.
- Experience in people management and mentoring.
- Solid project management skills and ability to drive initiatives.
- Financial literacy, including understanding of revenue, margins, and working capital.
- High proficiency in SAP or similar ERP systems (preferred).

**Benefits at IXOM**

For a start, you'll work for a large global organisation, where you'll not only earn a competitive salary, but you'll also have access to an Employee Assistance Program, a recognition program, and a range of health and wellness benefits and discounts.

Our wellbeing program is second to none, and we offer a range of education assistance and learning resources, as well as secondment and promotion opportunities to help you grow both personally and professionally.
