In this role, you will join a global environment where you can improve the way material planning is designed and used across sites and regions. You will work close to supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, and digital teams, turning business needs into practical solutions that help teams simplify decisions, grow their capabilities, and craft better planning every day.

You will define and improve material planning processes so they are clear, consistent, and easy to apply across Ferrero. You will help shape common standards, support planning transformation, and make sure each improvement serves a real business purpose: stronger material availability, better stock control, and smoother execution across the supply chain.

Finally, you will bring people together around shared ways of working. You will support governance, create useful documentation, and help resolve complex planning topics with good judgment.

You bring a master’s degree in engineering, supply chain, or a related field, along with 2-4 years of experience in material management or supply and production planning. You know how material planning works in practice, and you can connect process thinking with business needs. 

You can work confidently with planning systems, especially SAP, and you understand end-to-end supply chain flows. Experience with Kinaxis, Power BI, advanced Excel, project delivery, or digital transformation will help you create value quickly and support meaningful change. 

You are comfortable working across functions and cultures, and you know how to explain complex topics in a simple, useful way. You use data to guide decisions, learn from challenges, and take ownership of your mission with care, structure, and strong professional judgment.
