Supply Network Designer (m/f/d)

In this role, you will design and optimize the company's supply chain network using data-driven analysis and scenario modeling. You will build and maintain digital twin network models, evaluate configuration options, and quantify cost, service, and risk trade-offs. You’ll collaborate with Category Management, Strategic Supplier Management, Operations, and other stakeholders to align assumptions and support senior leadership decisions. This role focuses on ramp-up scenarios, external production and logistics evaluations, and defining data requirements for integration with supply chain systems.

• Build and maintain SC network models (digital twin) in optimization tools
• Develop and simulate network design scenarios (volume scaling, footprint changes)
• Translate business strategy and constraints into model parameters and assumptions
• Align key assumptions (demand, cost, capacity, service levels) with Category, Supplier Mgmt., and Operations
• Quantify cost, service, and risk trade-offs across scenarios
• Model capacity ramp-up options (space, equipment, workforce)
• Recommend decoupling points and inventory positioning strategies
• Assess network risks and simulate mitigation scenarios (dual sourcing, buffers)
• Derive KPI impacts and provide transparency for decision-making
• Prepare executive-ready materials and decision proposals
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment to ensure a consistent fact base
• Define data requirements and structure for integration with SC systems (Kinaxis, ERP)
• Continuously recalibrate models based on new data, assumptions, and business changes

• Degree in a related field (see Education)
• ~7+ years of experience in supply chain network design
• Strong analytical and scenario modeling capabilities with risk and trade-off assessment
• Experience with supply chain network design / scenario modeling tools (e.g., Optilogic Cosmic Frog, 4flow VIA, or similar)
• Ability to translate business requirements into model assumptions and data structures
• Experience in scenario-based analysis and supporting senior-level decision-making
• Strategic thinking with a structured, data-driven approach to complex network challenges
• Collaborative mindset with strong stakeholder alignment skills across functions and partners
