You will take ownership of the demand forecast and play a key role in balancing customer demand, production capacity and inventory. Working in a dynamic high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment, you will analyse demand patterns, identify risks and translate data and customer input into reliable forecasts and actionable insights. You will work closely with Production, Procurement, Sales, Project Management and Logistics and actively contribute to the monthly and quarterly S&OP process. You will have a high level of autonomy in managing the forecast, while working with stakeholders to align demand and supply and ensure the business is prepared for changes in customer demand.

The role combines demand forecasting, data analysis, scenario planning and stakeholder management. You will also contribute to continuously improving planning processes and supply chain performance.

  • A completed Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Operations Management or a related field
  • 7+ years of relevant professional experience in demand planning, demand forecasting or supply chain planning
  • Demonstrable experience with demand forecasting and forecast ownership
  • Experience within a manufacturing environment

  • Pension scheme and travel allowance
  • Flexible working hours
  • Personal development and career opportunities
  • Access to sports facilities
  • Meals and healthy snacks available at the workplace
  • A professional and international working environment

This role gives you the opportunity to take real ownership of demand planning within a growing high-tech organisation. You will not simply maintain forecasts; you will be responsible for the quality of the forecast and have a direct influence on how the organisation responds to future demand.

You will work in a complex high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment, where customer demand can change quickly and where planning decisions have a direct impact on production, procurement and inventory. With a high level of autonomy, you will work closely with multiple departments and customers and play an active role in the S&OP process. This makes the position particularly interesting for an experienced Demand Planner who enjoys combining data and analysis with business decisions and stakeholder management.

As the organisation continues to grow, there is also plenty of room to contribute to process improvements and further develop the demand planning function.

You will join an international high-tech manufacturing organisation based in the Eindhoven region. The company develops and manufactures complex technology solutions that combine electronics, software, mechanics and advanced manufacturing. Its products are developed and produced for demanding international customers and applications, creating a dynamic environment with a strong focus on quality, innovation and technological development. The organisation brings engineering, production, supply chain and other disciplines closely together. This integrated way of working creates a complex planning environment where reliable forecasting and strong collaboration between departments are essential. You will become part of the planning organisation within a specific Business Line and work together with a team of 9 Demand Planners, supported by a broader supply chain organisation.
