What you will do
As Process Owner for Order Execution & Demand Planning processes across the entire Business Area, you maintain and enhance common and effective processes to manage order execution within the Sales Areas, from quote to order. You also define and develop SMR’s ability to convert business pipelines into solid demand planning and sales forecasting, supporting our production and logistics business units. You manage improvements and changes to systems and platforms, ensuring that they are up-to-date and meet SMR’s business requirements.

What you need
A background in Sales Operations is required for this role, with an understanding of the processes and sales platforms typically used to support quote-to-order processes (CRM, CPQ, ERP, etc.). You have experience of working in global, complex and cross-functional teams. You are familiar with Salesforce or similar CRM, also SAP and related digital platforms for managing quote-to-order processes within a large organization. Your background as a change leader makes you comfortable in managing and embedding significant change within a large global organization, which requires you to also have excellent communication skills in English (both verbal and written).
You are a highly motivated and enthusiastic person, with a passion for continuous improvement. Your ability to multi-task enables you to easily manage several projects without impacting timelines or quality. You demonstrate self-awareness at all times, seeking feedback to develop both as a person and in your way of working.
