Student Assistant: Forecasting & Performance within Commercial Supply Chain

Do you want to kick-start your career in Supply Chain in a role that involves global collaboration and commercial insights? 

Join our Forecasting and Performance team
At our headquarters in Humlebæk, you will join Commercial Supply Chain - a high performing team of 15 international colleagues split into three areas, Forecasting & Performance, Supply Chain Analytics and our team of Senior Supply Chain Business Managers. As part of the Forecasting & Performance team, you and 5 dedicated colleagues work with our global volume forecasting processes and follow up on forecasting performance. 

Together, we ensure a high-quality volume forecast used for planning the production of our products for people with intimate health care needs. In this role you will collaborate closely with the other members of the forecasting & performance team, but also with stakeholders across our global organization: sales regions, subsidiaries, marketing, and commercial finance. 

The position as Student Assistant is part time with 15-20 hours weekly and will refer to the Head of Forecasting & Performance. 

Real responsibilities from day one – and the chance to make a difference in our forecasting processes
The forecasting team is a central function within our Global Supply Chain where we work on the foundation for a well-functioning Supply Chain in Coloplast. To succeed in the role, it is important you have interest and flair for working with big datasets and complex systems and that you can transform data into valuable insights.
 
“Working as a student assistant at Coloplast has been a great experience. It has not only helped in my professional development, but has also enhanced my skills in working within a multicultural team. I have found immense satisfaction in being given the thrust to develop my own small projects and actively contribute to helping others. I really appreciate that my effort is being acknowledged and valued, as well as my colleagues’ willingness to approach me for support. The team is super nice and that made me feel comfortable from day one” says Javier Rodriguez, our  current student assistant.

Your key tasks will include:

• Working with volume forecast across all business areas and sales regions
• Validating and uploading forecast for launches and market expansions in our end-to-end planning system OMP+
• Developing and maintaining reporting tools in PowerBI and Excel to support the forecasting process
• Supporting the team with various tasks, for example by creating/updating management presentations

A collaborative individual with drive, eagerness to learn and a strong analytical mindset 
We believe the right candidate is a team player who enjoys being part of, and contributing to, a team. The key to success is your eagerness to learn, your open-minded personality, customer centric mindset and solid analytical and solid problem-solving skills. As a person, you not only recognize yourself in, but also get inspired by our company mission and values.

Finally, we imagine that you:

• Are about to, or have started your master’s degree within supply chain management, engineering
• Have strong Excel skills, and if you do not already have experience with Power BI, your flair for new systems and tools ensures that you can easily get to know the data visualization tool
• Are eager to learn how our global end-to-end planning system (OMP+) works, with focus on sales volume forecasting
• Speak and write English at a high level, to enable communication worldwide (Danish is not a requirement)
• Display drive and a strong customer focus
• Possess great analytical and communication skills

The student assistant role is a great opportunity for a potential future career in Coloplast’s Global Supply Chain
