Head of Supply Chain Planning - FMCG

High-Growth Food and Beverages Environment | On-Site | Cologne

This opportunity with a rapidly expanding, product-driven company in the food/FMCG space is strengthening its Supply Chain organization with a Head of Demand Planning & Forecasting . The growth figures, timescales, and food subsector are all equally exciting for the right person to lead the Planning team, who will be a hands-on experienced leader within a similar space already.

What Makes This Role Stand Out:

• Work where decisions are fast and impact is visible.
• Lead and grow a Planning & Ordering team in a company scaling internationally.
• Shape forecasting, production planning, and material flow end-to-end.
• Drive digital planning tools (SAP + modern forecasting software).
• Join a culture that values clarity, teamwork, and a hands-on, open mindset.

What You Bring:

• ~6-12 years in Demand Planning / Forecasting / Supply Chain (FMCG/food/chemicals ideal).
• Leadership experience in Supply Chain Management.
• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with SAP & advanced planning tools.
• A proactive, energetic style and passion for process improvement.
• Fluent German & English.

Note: This role is specifically aimed at candidates who are able to work on-site in a relevant environment and have direct leadership experience in Planning and SCM. Relocation support is possible for the right person.
