-Coordinate day-to-day activities across supply chain, manufacturing and related functions to support overall programme execution.
-Engage with factories and operational teams to support readiness activities, solve issues, and collect required input.
-Manage programme data requests and reporting, ensuring information is accurate, complete and delivered on time.
-Identify and manage risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies, proposing practical mitigation actions.
-Support discussions around operational setup changes (e.g., services, permits, security, quality readiness) to enable a smooth “Day 1” transition.
-Participate in and help organise stakeholder workshops across the Netherlands.

Requirements  
-Solid experience in manufacturing and/or supply chain within a complex operational environment (FMCG or similar).
-Proven ability to coordinate multi-stakeholder projects with multiple workstreams and tight timelines.
-Comfortable working in factory/operations settings and engaging with operational teams.
