Project Manager Supply Chain Planning

About the role

As an experienced project manager, you will manage supply chain planning transformation projects from design to implementation, managing a team that is a mix of Bluecrux consultants and key stakeholders from the client side.

As a Supply Chain Planning expert, you re-design planning processes in close collaboration with the client to develop end-to-end integrated planning concepts and to lift customers’ demand planning, supply planning, S&OP/IBP, network planning and inventory tactics to a higher maturity level. You document the new processes in a design concept book.

You define planning process requirements and support the customer in translating their strategic and operational planning needs into future-proof ways of working. You are the link between business and solution.

You will plan and steer the implementation roadmap in an agile way, allowing Bluecrux consultants and client stakeholders to co-design and deploy improved processes, tools and behaviors that shape the future of planning.

Together with the client you plan for process validations, user training, go-live and hyper care of the newly developed ways of working.

You will be responsible for Customer Success. After the project closing, you will keep the relationship with our customers warm to ensure the implemented processes are sustained and the next project on their planning transformation roadmap is identified. You will become part of the driving motor of the planning transformation within Bluecrux.
