Manager Supply Chain Planning OMP

Manager Supply Chain - Planning

Are you willing to take the challenge of building a better working world, improving supply chain performance in a dynamic, digital world?

The opportunity

In today’s shape-shifting world, companies need to do more than just meet customer needs — they need to anticipate them. Customers want on-demand access to products that are specifically tailored to their preferences. In response, companies and their supply chains need to be able to deliver as fast as customers think. This need for greater agility, while being mindful of the bottom line, places pressure on supply chain planning and the planners who are expected to keep pace within an ever-accelerating environment.

Supply chain planning professionals are therefore more and more relying on technological assets to assist them in their day-to-day job. It’s in that respect that EY has built a strong relationship with OMP – a  Belgian based provider of digital supply chain planning solutions.

For our growing Supply Chain and Operations practice in Belgium we are looking for an OMP Manager to strengthen our Planning team.

Key Responsibilities

As a Manager your key role will be to deliver projects that improve our client’s business performance, in line with our Exceptional Client Service approach. Drawing on your knowledge, skills and experience, you will build valued relationships with external clients and internal peers, support bids, proposals and thought leadership, and coach and support EY consultants and client team members to deliver sustainable business outcomes.

You will implement and deliver OMP solutions end-to-end and have the task to:

• Optimize the Supply Chain Planning processes and functions of our clients while translating their business needs into functional and technical requirements for the OMP solutions.
• Be hands on in the tools and co-create solutions that fit our clients’ needs and are in line with the capabilities of OMP
• Assist in the configuration and parametrization of the OMP solutions
• Have an eye for the impact the new ways of working will have on the end-user and implement solutions to smoothen the transition (eg. Training, end-user profiling,…)

In addition, you’ll actively establish and strengthen the relationships with our regional and global Supply Chain Planning leadership teams and with the OMP senior management.

Your knowledge and experience, combined with EY’s thought leadership on the future of Supply Chain Planning, will allow you to provide innovative insights for clients, adapting our service offerings, solutions, and methods to fit the operational teams and cultural needs.

You are thorough and result oriented and work together with the client on implementing solutions. You often work in an international environment on projects with a significant impact on company results.
