Lumene Group's vision is to be the number one beauty company from the Nordics, recognized for our leading work in circular beauty among a wide international consumer group. We are a pioneer in the circular economy and bringing the power of the wild Nordic nature to the reach of all. Lumene Group is the home of three Nordic beauty brands: LUMENE, CUTRIN and IDA WARG Beauty.

• Drive forecast accuracy and bias (SWAPE) improvements across your scope, and develop forecasting methods, parameters, and segmentation.

• Own launch, novelty, and campaign planning end-to-end, including risk assessment and phase-in/phase-out decisions.

Supply Planning & Inventory

• Translate the demand plan into a feasible supply plan together with Procurement, Production, and external partners, identifying capacity and material constraints early.

• Own service level, inventory targets, and Months on Inventory (MOI) for your scope, balancing availability, working capital, and obsolescence risk.

S&OP Leadership

• Prepare and present demand, supply, and inventory gaps, risks, and opportunities in S&OP and executive sign-off meetings when needed.

• Drive cross-functional alignment between Commercial, Procurement, Production, and Finance on trade-offs and decisions.

• Deliver analyses and insights that support business decisions, such as range, inventory policy, and capacity.

Development & Continuous Improvement

• Driving improvements in parameters, master data quality, and planning routines in Relex.

• Lead development initiatives in planning processes, reporting, and automation, including smart use of AI tools.

• Coach and mentor less experienced planners and share best practices across the team.

You Will Need for Succeeding
