Lead integrated supply chain performance across global cable projects

Join a global organisation at the forefront of the green transition. As Head of Supply Chain Management in Grid Solutions, you will be responsible for end‑to‑end supply chain performance across a complex, project‑driven portfolio , ensuring reliable delivery through robust planning, sourcing execution, logistics and project integration.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — translating demand, sourcing strategies and operational capabilities into consistent project outcomes across hubs and regions.

Your role – owning the integrated supply chain outcome

You lead the Supply Chain Management function within Grid Solutions , with accountability for how planning, logistics and project supply chain execution work together to support business priorities.

Portfolio & Capacity Planning

• Own project and portfolio planning across tenders, backlog and execution
• Ensure transparent capacity visibility and prioritisation across hubs and business lines
• Drive planning governance and capacity‑related S&OP processes

Sourcing Execution & Capacity Allocation

• Ensure effective allocation and utilisation of internal and externally sourced capacity
• Act as the operational interface to external cable sourcing, translating sourcing strategies into executable project plans
• Collaborate closely with Group Procurement, who retain ownership of supplier strategy, commercial frameworks and negotiations

Logistics & Network Performance

• Define and continuously improve logistics, warehousing and storage network set‑ups
• Ensure efficient material flows from production and stock to storage and installation sites
• Drive standardisation, transparency and continuous improvement across logistics operations

Project Supply Chain Integration

• Ensure end‑to‑end supply chain performance in projects, integrating planning, procurement execution and logistics
• Establish clear roles, processes and ways of working for project supply chain across hubs
• Proactively manage delivery risk, trade‑offs and escalations impacting project performance

You work in close partnership with commercial, execution and procurement teams globally. Travel is limited and driven by business needs.

A Leader Who Brings Clarity, Structure And Collaboration

This role suits a leader who thrives in complex, cross‑functional environments. You bring structure where there is ambiguity, make balanced decisions under competing priorities, and build trust across interfaces.

You likely bring:

• Senior experience in supply chain, operations or planning within project‑based environments
• Strong understanding of end‑to‑end supply chain flows, including planning, sourcing execution and logistics
• Ability to lead through matrix organisations and align diverse stakeholders
