In this role you will be responsible for building robust production plans for Kargowa factory and its Wafers portfolio. Respecting the agreed level of constrained capacity and taking into account further constraints, you will ensure that finished and semi-finished goods are available with the highest quality, at the right stock location to meet customer demand whilst minimising cost (optimize service at the best E2E cost).

This is an exciting role that offers the opportunity to work closely with stakeholders across different areas of our business including: production, finance, local supply chain, R&D and projects. The role will offer you a degree of autonomy to both challenge and recommend new ways of working. 

The role will allow you to be in a close touch with the EUR DSP community by being part of the Above the Market Confectionery Team.
