About the role

Aplyr's Quick Take

This role is about leading quality assurance and testing for the implementation of the o9 platform at Mondelez. You'll be configuring and validating supply chain planning models and ensuring they integrate well with existing systems. It's a senior individual contributor position focused on technical execution rather than people management.

Good fit

Ideal candidates have extensive experience in supply chain planning and technical configuration, particularly with o9 or similar platforms. You should be comfortable working independently and have a strong analytical mindset.

Worth noting

The role involves significant technical work, including scripting and data modeling, which may not be typical for similar positions. Be prepared for a fast-paced environment with a focus on digital transformation in a large organization.
