About this Position

As the leader of Global Operations & Supply Chain Strategy & PMO, you will shape and drive Henkel’s 2030 transformation agenda across our global Operations, Supply Chain and Procurement organization. You will lead a team of Strategy & PMO professionals, partner closely with the Global Leadership Team, and drive high-impact transformations from strategy through execution and measurable value creation. 

What you´ll do

  • Lead Global Operations & Supply Chain Strategy & PMO, managing a team of 6+ Strategy/PMO leaders and translating our 2030 ambition into an executable transformation agenda.
  • Own selected high-impact transformations end-to-end from problem definition and business case through implementation and value realization, across 100+ sites, 10,000+ employees and 100,000+ customers.
  • Orchestrate the global transformation portfolio, ensuring priorities, resources, interdependencies and risks are actively managed and escalated.
  • Identify new value-creation opportunities across Operations, Supply Chain and Procurement through internal performance insights and outside-in benchmarks.
  • Shape operating models and organizational transformations, including organization design, governance, capabilities, processes and change management.
  • Drive the strategic management cycle including Leadership Team workshops, strategy reviews and selected global communications.
  • Act as a strategic sparring partner to the Global Leadership Team, facilitating global meetings, keeping drum beats and developing fact-based recommendations to enable executive decisions.

  • Master's degree in Engineering, Business or related discipline preferred; fluent English essential.
