Supply Planner

Job Description

Job Description:

Are you an organized, resilient supply chain professional who loves to take full ownership of their work? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same, and where troubleshooting is second nature?

As our new Supply Planner at Royal Canin (a proud division of Mars, Inc.), you will join a close-knit, dedicated team of three colleagues responsible for the Benelux region. In this role, you will practically run your "own shop." You will ensure our external warehouses have the perfect stock mix to seamlessly fulfill customer demands, maintaining absolute operational excellence.

We are looking for a stable factor for our team. Whether you are a sharp Bachelor (HBO) graduate looking for a solid foundation, or an experienced professional who simply loves the energy of operational planning—if you are looking for a role to settle into, make your own, and master independently, this is your place to thrive.

Key Responsibilities

• Run Your Own Shop: Take full operational ownership of inventory parameters, replenishment, and ordering from our European factories to maintain the perfect stock mix.
• Dynamic Troubleshooting: Handle daily unexpected situations and logistics challenges immediately and accurately to keep the Benelux operations running smoothly.
• Commercial Partner & Advisor: Act as the operational point of contact for Key Accounts and Sales Representatives. You will be the main link between the sales team (and big clients) and the actual logistics/supply chain. Your job is to balance client demands with what is realistically possible.
• Logistics Coordination: Manage the end-to-end information flow between factories and warehouses, and coordinate Value Added Services (co-packing, cycle counts).
• Accuracy & Administration: Execute inventory administration (pallet registration, invoice approval, master data maintenance) with high attention to detail, and monitor KPIs like Out of Stock and OnTimeInFull (OTIF).

What You Bring

• Educational Background: A Bachelor’s degree (HBO) in Logistics, Supply Chain, Business Administration, or a related field.
• Experience & Mindset: You are either a motivated starter or an experienced planning professional. Most importantly, you are looking for stability and a role you can commit to for the longer term (rather than aiming for the next career step within a year).
• Independence & Accuracy: You work with high precision, can work independently, but enjoy being part of a small, supportive team.
• Commercial Sensitivity: You have an eye for business interests and can hold your own when communicating with sales and major clients.
• Languages & Presence: Fluency in both Dutch and English (written and spoken) is a must. You are available full-time and able to work from our office in Veghel for 50% of the time.

What We Offer

• A stable, high-impact position within a small, professional Benelux team.
• An international, family-owned business driven by strong values (The Five Principles).
• A hybrid working model (50% in Veghel, 50% home office).
• A competitive Mars salary package (EUR 55.000 – EUR 65.000 total gross annual salary) and excellent secondary benefits.
