• You monitor key process KPIs, detect bottlenecks, and take action to improve performance and data quality.
• You collaborate closely with IT and key users, providing guidance, maintaining up-to-date documentation, and sharing best practices.
  
  

In this role, you report to the functional excellence manager and work closely with the global supply chain community to strengthen Oleon’s planning capabilities and overall performance.

• You have proven experience working a functional or business consultant or analyst with SAP modules like APO-DP, ePPDS, MM, PP-PI, SD, or LES, and you understand how data and processes connect within ERP systems.
• You communicate fluently in English, both written and spoken; knowledge of French or Dutch is considered an advantage.
• You ideally bring additional assets such as knowledge of SAP IBP, an APICS CPIM or CSCP certification, or experience with Power BI, Power Apps, or project management in an international context.
• You combine analytical thinking and structure with strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the drive to continuously improve how things are done.
