• Sufficient knowledge of the Planning world (S&OP, planning horizons, goods availability date) to engage as an equal with Planning teams, without needing to be a hands-on expert

• Able to engage both with highly technical interlocutors (planning, operational logistics) and with conceptual/strategic sponsors
• Fluent English is required

Nice to Have

• Pharma/vaccines industry experience (or a sector with strong quality/traceability requirements as an alternative)
