- 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.

- 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.

We support what's important to you by promoting workplace giving, diversity and providing volunteering leave, and, of course, we offer flexible working wherever possible.
