• Strengthen operational control. Introduce common KPIs, service-level agreements, exception reporting, root-cause analysis and corrective-action routines.

• Act as business process owner for O2C execution. Define operational business requirements for SAP S/4HANA order management and logistics processes, and support design, testing, data readiness, user adoption and process improvement.

• Manage partners and continuity risk. Maintain effective governance of logistics providers, warehouses and carriers, including performance, capacity, contingency plans, claims and contract compliance within delegated authority.

• Develop the organization. Build a service-oriented, accountable and data-driven team across regions and entities.

• System Experience: Strong business-process experience with SAP, ideally S/4HANA, including Order Management / SD and relevant logistics processes or major ERP transformation. Experience must go beyond being an end user.

• International profile. Fluent business English and experience working across cultures, time zones, legal entities and outsourced logistics networks. Asia exposure is an advantage.

• Experience. Substantial leadership experience across customer service, order management and logistics in a multi-country consumer, FMCG, industrial or similarly complex product business.

• End-to-end capability. Demonstrable understanding of Order-to-Cash execution, inventory availability, allocation, warehousing, transportation, 3PL management, customs interfaces and customer issue resolution.

• Performance improvement. Track record of improving OTIF, service levels, productivity and cost-to-serve in a multi-country environment through process, data and organisational discipline.
