Position Overview

The Supply Chain Coordinator (m/w/d) in Neu-Ulm is responsible for the operational supply chain activities in Drop Production — managing inventory including best-before-date (MHD) monitoring, implementing inventory optimisation measures, steering demand, production, and inventory planning to ensure material availability, coordinating with production areas and external partners such as suppliers, contract manufacturers, and logistics providers, optimising processes in inventory management and materials planning, contributing to supply chain projects, and preparing reports and documentation for management.
