We are looking for an experienced professional with deep expertise in end-to-end order management processes and a strong track record of leading regional initiatives in an international manufacturing environment. Acting across countries and functions, you will shape and harmonize Order Management practices, elevate customer service performance and influence senior stakeholders in a complex matrix organization.

The role involves approximately 30% travel and can be based in any European country where Sika operates.

  • Lead Regional Customer Order Management Excellence: Drive the development and continuous improvement of end-to-end COM processes across EMEA, ensuring consistent, efficient and customer-centric ways of working.

  • Strengthen Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a regional link between local Customer Order Management teams and Logistics, Planning, Production, Sales and Operations, ensuring alignment between customer expectations and supply chain capabilities.
  • Drive Performance Management: Establish and monitor service KPIs, dashboards and reporting routines to improve transparency on backlog, order confirmations, delivery commitments and service performance. Lead root-cause analysis and ensure effective improvement actions.
  • Lead Regional Change and Capability Development: Assess COM maturity across countries, identify improvement opportunities and lead initiatives to strengthen local capabilities through coaching, knowledge sharing, workshops and adoption of best practices.
  • Influence Senior Stakeholders: Build strong relationships across the regional and local organizations, engage senior stakeholders and drive alignment and commitment to COM transformation initiatives.
  • Strengthen Risk and Service Governance: Identify recurring service risks, including delays, shortages and supply disruptions, and drive mitigation plans to safeguard customer commitments and ensure consistent service delivery.
  • Drive Digital and Systems Alignment: Support the harmonization and continuous improvement of ERP/SAP-related order management processes, master data and reporting capabilities across EMEA.

Qualifications

  • Experience with ERP/SAP order management processes, master data and service performance management.
  • Proven track record in driving process harmonization, defining service standards and improving customer service and OTIF performance.
  • Strong analytical skills, with experience in KPI monitoring, data interpretation, dashboards and performance reporting.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders across functions and countries without direct reporting authority.
  • Experience in leading cross-functional initiatives, facilitating workshops and driving change in an international matrix organization.
  • Strong coaching and capability-building skills, with the ability to develop local teams and promote best practices across regions.
  • Fluency in English (spoken and written); additional European languages are an advantage.
