Senior Consultant | End-to-End Supply Chain & Logistics | Global Recruitment
Head of Demand Planning & Forecast Management
High-Growth Food and Beverages Environment | On-Site | Cologne
Location: Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
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.
If you’re energised by speed, ownership, and building smart planning structures in a high‑growth environment, this is a role where you would thrive.
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:
* ~5‑10 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.
Why Now?
The company is scaling fast, processes are evolving, and they want someone who enjoys building structure instead of just running it. You’ll be right at the intersection of Sales, Operations, Procurement, and Production – with real influence.
