How you can make an impact

• Develop deep functional and conceptual knowledge of supply chain planning — from Sales & Operations Planning to Demand Forecasting and beyond.
• Drive innovative, tech-enabled solutions that transform how our clients plan, produce, and deliver.
• Support clients in building robust processes, capabilities, and governance — or guide them through Advanced Planning Systems (APS) assessments, selections, and implementations.
• Advise organisations of all sizes on capacity planning, product launch strategies, materials management, and the latest enabling technologies.
• Prepare reports, proposals, and documentation to support client engagements and business growth.
• Own your projects with autonomy, collaborating closely in small, agile teams.
• Pick your passion: dive into a topic that excites you and develop it through research, a point of view (PoV), or even a client engagement.
• Collaborate regularly with Deloitte’s Supply Chain Planning team to brainstorm solutions and develop ideas for ongoing projects and business development.
• Experience a vibrant mix of working alongside colleagues in our offices and spending time on-site with clients — from corporate HQs to factories — to truly understand their challenges.

Who we are looking for

• At least 2 years of experience in a consulting company is highly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of Supply Chain Planning disciplines, including Integrated Business Planning, Inventory Optimisation, Network Design, and Production Scheduling.
• Previous exposure to APS implementation is strongly preferred, either as an implementation consultant, product specialist, solution expert, or advanced end-user.
• Exposure to Materials Management, Product Launch Planning, and cut-over management is a plus.
• Knowledge of AI applications in supply chain, planning, operations, or consulting is a strong plus, especially for someone who has worked with AI-enabled tools or use cases and can bring creative ideas to client projects.
• Able to take ownership of workstreams, manage stakeholders, and act as a trusted advisor to clients and internal teams.
• Independent, proactive, and confident operating in projects where you can contribute as a key senior resource.
• A collaborative team player with intellectual curiosity, a continuous improvement mindset, and the ability to coach more junior colleagues.
• Comfortable working in an international environment, including travel abroad when required.
• Fluent in English. Additional languages such as French or German are a strong bonus.
• Certifications such as APICS or other Supply Chain/Operations credentials are a plus.

Your Team

• Exposure to end-to-end supply chain transformation projects — from strategy and design to hands-on implementation.
• Opportunities to work with multinational clients across diverse industries including Consumer Business, Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, and Industrial Manufacturing.
• Access to extensive internal and external training programmes to boost your skills and career.
• The freedom to explore and develop your own ideas through research, PoVs, or client projects — your growth is in your hands.
• Career progression opportunities aligned with your ambitions and interests.
• A supportive environment where your input is heard, your ideas are taken seriously, and your growth is encouraged.
