  • 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.
  • Act as SAP subject matter expert, supporting current operations and future system rollouts.

Who are we looking for?

  • 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.
