Europe - Packaging & COMAN Insight Manager

Drive risk analytics, resilience intelligence and decision support across all Prime Cost categories in Europe and Global Co-Manufacturing and Packaging. Develop market, price, cost and risk models; analyze commodity, packaging, supplier, operational and geopolitical drivers; and translate external developments into clear business implications and response options. Partner with stakeholders on forecasting, scenario analysis, supplier research, benchmarking and risk assessments to inform category strategy, sourcing, planning, resilience and Price Risk Management decisions. Interpret AI/ML-supported forecasting and risk-sensing tools, assess external analytical techniques and embed scalable digital capabilities into commercial processes. Standardize performance measures, strengthen data quality and integrate market, supplier and supply-chain signals to identify emerging exposures, trigger points and mitigation opportunities. Use advanced analysis, visualization and decision storytelling to support complex commercial, risk and resilience decisions.

What are we looking for?

Essential requirements

• Strong experience in market intelligence, risk analytics, forecasting, scenario modelling, supply-network resilience or a closely related field.
• Advanced analytical capability, with a demonstrated ability to integrate complex market, supplier, operational and supply-chain data into clear commercial insights and recommendations.
• Strong stakeholder-partnership and communication skills, including the ability to influence across functions, communicate uncertainty and translate analysis into decision-ready narratives.
• Experience developing or applying analytical models, dashboards, visualization tools and AI-enabled capabilities to support sourcing, resilience, planning and risk decisions.

Nice to have, but not essential

• Strong experience in European Prime Cost risk domains and global Packaging, Co-Manufacturing, or contract-manufacturing value chains.
• Experience with packaging and external-manufacturing cost drivers, supplier-risk assessment, benchmarking, indexing or Price Risk Management.
• Experience in procurement, sourcing, supply chain, food, pet care, agriculture or another complex global business environment.

What would be your key responsibilities?

• Build forward-looking market and risk intelligence: Develop an outside-in view of European Prime Cost categories and Global Co-Manufacturing and Packaging, integrating market, supplier, geopolitical, operational and supply-chain signals to identify emerging exposures, watchpoints and opportunities.
• Develop forecasts and scenarios: Create and continuously improve price, cost, risk and scenario models, making assumptions, confidence ranges, triggers and potential business implications transparent.
• Enable commercial and resilience decisions: Provide objective, decision-ready analysis for category strategy, sourcing, negotiations, planning, supplier risk, business continuity, resilience and Price Risk Management.
