Supply Chain Transformation Lead, ERP program, Lund

Have you been working as a manager, program leader, senior project manager, or consultant, with a strong focus on end-to-end supply chain and operations transformation? Are you experienced at the intersection of supply chain and technology — driving change across processes, people, and technology?

If so, this role may be exactly what you are looking for. We are now searching for a Supply Chain Transformation Lead that will take a central role in Axis’ upcoming ERP transformation – which can include implementing a new ERP system. The role is based at our Headquarters in Lund.

In this position, you will lead the design and integration of our core supply chain processes — e.g., Forecast-to-plan, Order-to-Deliver, Procure-to-Pay, and Plan-to-Produce — ensuring that the business perspective and end-to-end design are anchored in all major program decisions.

You will guide process leads, aligning functions, and securing a coherent operational and end-to-end design throughout the program and coming years. Joining early in the program gives you a unique opportunity to influence direction and build the team from start.

Who is your future team?
Operations is the part of Axis’ organization that is responsible for the supply and distribution of our products. We are also the link between Axis R&D and our global market, working with industrialization of new products. This includes e.g., Purchasing, Order Handling, Production, Sourcing, Production Preparation, Sales & Operations Planning, Quality & Environment, and Logistics. We define our end-to-end supply chain as “n” tier supplier all the way to our end customers.

Today we are closer to 500 people working within Operations. Based in Lund, we interact with other Axis departments and a worldwide network of customers, distributors, suppliers, manufacturing partners, and our configuration and logistics centers.

In this role you are part of our Operations Development organization. We are divided into four areas of responsibility: Analytics and BI, Cross functional projects & system, Innovation and Digital transformation. You will work closely with many of our colleagues in Operations Development, but especially with Business Product Owners for our ERP system and other surrounding systems, and our Business Solution Architects. As for all colleagues in Operations Development, you will as well work closely and collaborate daily with functional teams and our IT organization.

You will report to the Director of Operations Development and Digitalization.

• Lead the end-to-end supply chain design workstream within the ERP program.
• Accountable for final sign-off of the end-to-end supply chain process design in the ERP program, based on signoffs from and in close collaboration with respective process leads.
• Lead, coordinate and support process leads and subject matter experts from Operations.
• Ensure that decisions and progress are aligned across processes, functions and steering groups.
• Act as main counterpart to the ERP Head Architect, Head Data Lead, and potential implementation partners.
