We work closely with our members in their forestry, sharing their challenges and helping them create both increased climate benefits and higher profitability. Our work also includes the development of digital support and new forestry services.

For over 50 years, Södra has worked with plant production and invested heavily to develop the best plant material for southern Swedish conditions. Now there is an opportunity to be part of our journey in the role of Supply Planner!

As a Supply Planner, you will work closely with our nurseries and other functions to ensure the balance between supply and demand for plants. Your tasks will mainly consist of planning and coordinating flows, involving many internal and external contacts.

Your tasks include:

- Forecasting and Planning: Contribute to the work with sales forecasts, production forecasts, sowing plans in the longer term, and tactical production plans and weekly plans for plant deliveries in the shorter term.

- Quality and Sustainability: Conduct supplier audits together with cultivation leaders/cultivation specialists and ensure high quality in our plant deliveries.

- Meeting Forums: Lead both operational, tactical, and strategic meetings with production units, suppliers, the logistics department, and forestry managers to ensure balance between demand and supply as well as effective flow planning.

Furthermore, we value an interest in the opportunities of digitalization to optimize our processes, and we assume you have good computer skills.

At Södra, people and culture are at the center, and you as a candidate are an empathetic colleague who recognizes the value of good relationships and collaboration. You have a good communicative ability with a solution-oriented approach. We also see that you thrive in being able to independently deliver against set goals.
