• CSCO Office: This group manages the Chief Supply Chain & Operations Officers office. Responsibilities include developing and executing the communication strategy handling OPEX overseeing risk and audit processes preparing reports for ExCo and Board meetings leading the weekly Leadership Team meeting as well as leading cross-functional strategic projects.

• undefined

• Network Strategy: The focus here is on ongoing optimization of our manufacturing network ensuring optimal cost cash flow service levels sustainability and resilience. The team constantly monitors changing external factors (such as tariff wars geopolitical shifts logistics disruptions) upcoming product roadmaps and current and potential partners capabilities. We create evaluate and propose optimization scenarios which are submitted to the companys Board for approval and implementation.

About the role

The Network Design & Optimization Manager is responsible for shaping and evaluating supply chain network scenarios that support the companys longterm strategy. The role translates corporate and supply chain strategy into concrete network design choicesacross manufacturing footprint makevsbuy decisions regional vs global setups and partner selectionusing rigorous analytics and structured stakeholder alignment.

The role operates at the intersection of strategy analytics and executive decisionmaking supporting recommendations that are reviewed and approved at senior leadership and Board level.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Strategy & Scenario Definition

• Develop a deep understanding of the external context (geopolitical shifts trade and tariff dynamics logistics disruptions sustainability expectations supplier capabilities) and internal context (product roadmap volume evolution cost structure operational constraints).

• Translate company and supply chain strategy into clear network design imperatives including:

o Make vs. buy decisions

o Regional vs. global manufacturing and distribution models

o Capacity allocation and footprint evolution

• Define endtoend network scenarios that reflect strategic options and tradeoffs across cost service cash resilience and sustainability.

• Frame scenarios with clear assumptions constraints decision levers and success criteria to enable objective evaluation and executive discussion.

2. Analytics & Scenario Assessment

• Lead the quantitative assessment of network scenarios using appropriate modeling and analytical approaches.

• Evaluate scenarios across multiple dimensions including total landed cost service performance inventory and cash impact risk and resilience and scalability.

• Conduct sensitivity and whatif analyses to test robustness of scenarios against key uncertainties (e.g. demand shifts cost inflation tariffs capacity changes).

• Synthesize complex analytical outputs into clear insights highlighting tradeoffs risks and decision implications.

3. Stakeholder Alignment & Executive Communication

• Partner closely with stakeholders from scenario definition through assessment and final recommendation ensuring alignment on assumptions scope and evaluation criteria.

• Act as an integrator across functions balancing sometimes competing objectives and perspectives.

• Prepare highquality executivelevel materials (decks narratives decision papers) that clearly articulate:

o Strategic context and problem statement

o Scenarios considered and analytical outcomes

o Key tradeoffs risks and mitigations

o Clear actionable recommendations

• Present and defend recommendations to a wide range of audiences including senior leadership and executive forums adapting depth and messaging as required.
