The environment is fast-paced, with close interaction between internal and external stakeholders across different markets. At the same time, there is a strong sense of community and teamwork, where supporting each other and having a positive mindset is key to success.

You will be supported by an experienced lead and benefit from a structured buddy programme that ensures both professional development and smooth onboarding.

• Demonstrate strong collaboration and communication skills across different stakeholders
• Show curiosity or interest in Supply Chain, Sustainability and/or data-driven decision-making
