Practical experience with IBP/S&OE, scenario planning, and KPI management (OTIF, inventory days, capacity utilization).
Proficiency with ERP systems (Infor M3 a plus) and strong Excel skills.
Fluency in English; Dutch or Spanish language skills are a plus.

Establish and optimize supply chain processes to support Cellfeed’s growth.
Ensure compliance with HSE and quality standards in all operations.
