Job Description
Description of the position
* Curious about how a global outdoor brand transforms its supply chain planning processes? * Interested in participating in the implementation of a new supply planning tool (APS – Advanced Planning System)? * Looking for an opportunity to combine supply chain operations, business analysis, and transformation projects in an international environment?
We are looking for a Supply Planning Digital Transformation Intern to join the Softgoods Supply Planning team and support the implementation of our future APS solution (o9).

* APS implementation & supply planning transformation – support the business team throughout the implementation phases * Maintain a structured repository of supply planning processes, business rules and glossary documentation, used as reference materials during the project * Participate in the functional design workshops alongside the business team, to build an in-depth understanding of the future solution and of the design decisions taken * Help translate business needs into user stories, the standard format used to describe requirements to the project team * Compare business needs with what the tool can do, and document the gaps identified and the solutions found * Keep a clear link between business needs, the way they are designed in the tool, and the tests that will validate them
* Supply planning operational support – understanding how planners work today is what will allow you to contribute meaningfully to the design of tomorrow's tools and processes * Work alongside supply planners on day-to-day topics: production plan build and updates, alignment between demand, supply and inventory objectives * Contribute to ad-hoc analyses supporting supply planning review and operational decision making within the S&OP process * Support the monitoring of supply chain performance and operational KPIs * Help identify supply, capacity, inventory or delivery risks, and understand how planners arbitrate them
