Transformation Manager Supply Chain

Our client is looking for an experienced and driven Transformation Manager to lead a supply chain transition within a food production environment consisting of three manufacturing sites, each with its own product range and specialization.  The transformation will happen in two phases: on the one hand the optimization of the current supply chain activities and on the other hand the implementation of a new ERP, with a planned go live in early 2026.  The planned optimization is of course largely centered on the implementation of the new ERP.
