What's the Role?
The role will be focused on 5 macro-distributor areas across Latin America for the daily work within the E2E Performance Team to deliver KPI targets. A 3P Project Planner will be expected to work on launching a streamlined process and implement it across all macro-distributor areas and 3P suppliers.

As such, the 3P Project Planner has a very significant impact on customer experience and overall supply chain performance for finished goods which will filter down to product availability concerns for our customers. This is mostly an operational and tactical role, but a successful applicant will also need to show project and stakeholder management experience, commercial knowledge, and technical know-how with SAP when taking into account overall supply and demand across Latin America.
