About the job

Alfa Laval is investing in digital planning capabilities to create a more connected and consistent supply chain. Today, planning is supported by a mix of solutions, including Blue Yonder, SO99+, Inact Now and Excel. As Product Manager, Supply Chain Planning, you will shape the product vision and roadmap that help bring these capabilities together, align them with business processes and deliver greater value across the organization.

Working at the intersection of supply chain, business and technology, you will connect digital opportunities with real planning needs. You’ll partner with business leaders, planners, architects, analysts and delivery teams to define priorities, guide implementation and improve how Alfa Laval plans demand, supply, production, inventory and service parts. A key challenge will be determining what belongs in the ERP solutions and what is best supported by planning platforms outside the ERP.

Key responsibilities

Define and communicate the product vision, strategy and roadmap for supply chain planning, aligned with business priorities and long-term objectives.

Prioritize the product backlog, build business cases and track whether expected benefits are realized.

Lead the planning product area across demand planning, S&OP/IBP, master planning, supply and production planning, inventory and replenishment, and service parts planning.

Connect digital capabilities with business processes, including assessing what should be delivered in the ERP and what should be built cross ERPs.

Translate business needs into clear digital requirements, features and epics.

Align stakeholders across Business Units, Operations, Service, IT and senior management.

Guide delivery in Agile and waterfall environments, working closely with the Product Owner and delivery teams.

Promote standardization and evaluate new approaches, including AI/ML-based and autonomous planning.

Support governance, training, adoption and continuous improvement so users can realize the value of new solutions and ways of working.

Who are you

You are an analytical, business-minded partner who can understand how planning works in practice, identify where improvements will matter and turn complex needs into clear priorities. You build trust across functions and cultures through strong communication, facilitation and collaboration. Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving digital products, you take initiative, challenge conventional thinking constructively and bring stakeholders together to make sound decisions and achieve shared goals.

What you know

To succeed in this role, you bring broad supply chain experience and the ability to lead transformation across business processes, people and technology. We believe our ideal candidate has:

Several years of experience in supply chain planning on the business side, for example as a planner, planning manager or in a comparable role.
A broad understanding of end-to-end supply chain planning, including demand, supply, inventory, production and capacity planning.
Proven experience leading or contributing to a supply chain planning implementation or transformation, with strong project management skills and experience working in both Agile and waterfall environments.
The ability to translate business problems and requirements into clear product needs and technology-enabled solutions.
Experience with planning platforms such as Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, SO99+, Microsoft D365 Supply Chain Planning or similar, and an understanding of ERP landscapes such as D365, Jeeves or Movex.
Experience with planning across manufacturing or OEM sites and distribution centers, including spare parts and service planning.
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Information Systems, Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
Professional fluency in English.

It is considered an advantage if you have:

Experience with S&OP/IBP, demand sensing, inventory optimization or advanced planning and scheduling.
Knowledge of supply chain process frameworks such as APQC, SCOR or similar.
A relevant certification such as CSCP or CPIM; PMP, PSPO or SAFe certification is also an advantage.

What’s in It for You?

You’ll have the opportunity to shape an evolving digital product area and influence how planning capabilities support Alfa Laval’s business, not just how systems are implemented.

Help connect planning processes with current and future digital capabilities.
Influence the balance between ERP and specialized planning solutions.
Explore how emerging technologies could improve planning and decision-making.
