  • Experience translating demand forecasts into practical operational plans.
  • Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret and present data effectively.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with multiple business functions and senior stakeholders.
  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to identify opportunities for operational improvements.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills.
  • Experience within logistics, distribution, aerospace, aviation, manufacturing, or a complex supply chain environment would be highly advantageous.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
