Operations Planning & Analysis (OPA) Lead


Location: Germany, Munich (on-site)


The company and business sits in a tightly regulated, high-stakes industry and is transitioning from small-batch production into full-volume manufacturing, this hire is central to making that jump work.


You'd step into a lean, senior operations group at a make-or-break moment for the business: output is ramping fast, but there's no established planning cadence yet. You'd be the one to create it, working hand-in-hand with a BI/Reporting Analyst and reporting straight to the director Operations Exellence.


WHAT THIS ROLE IS REALLY ABOUT

This is the person who turns operational chaos into a reliable rhythm. You'll architect and run the sales & operations planning cycle, decide what gets measured and how, and produce the weekly and monthly reporting that leadership uses to actually steer the business. Nothing here exists yet — you're building the entire planning infrastructure from a blank page, and growing a small team as you go.


WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Architect and drive the S&OP cycle, bringing demand, supply, inventory, and financial views into one coherent picture
  • Decide the operational KPI set from scratch — what gets tracked, how often, and by whom
  • Own the weekly and monthly leadership reporting packages, including actuals-vs-plan and the story behind the variances
  • Work closely with the BI/Reporting Analyst to make sure the numbers rest on solid data foundations
  • Turn loose operational questions into repeatable analytical models and tools
  • Hire, coach, and manage a Planning Analyst and a BI/Reporting Analyst
  • Serve as the trusted analytical link between the operations floor and the executive team


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 7 to 10 years working in supply chain, operations planning, or FP&A inside a manufacturing business
  • A genuine builder, someone who has stood up or overhauled a planning process, not simply run one that already existed
  • Proof that leadership has relied on reports you've produced to make real calls
  • Strong modelling ability in Excel and/or SQL
  • Hands-on background designing S&OP frameworks and KPI systems
  • The confidence to tell leadership what they need to hear, communicated cleanly and without ego
  • A degree in Industrial Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, or a related field
