Are you a skilled communicator who thrives at the intersection of strategy, process, and cross-functional collaboration? Axis Communications is looking for a Sales & Operations Planning Lead to drive and develop our S&OP process - a key enabler for aligning supply with demand and supporting our continued growth. Our S&OP process is already driving real business impact - and now we need someone to take it further.
As our S&OP Lead, you'll build on a strong foundation, raise the maturity of the process, and act as the bridge between data, functions, and executive decision-making. This hybrid role is based at our headquarters in Lund.
Who is your future team?
The Operations organization is responsible for Axis's global supply chain, sourcing, industrialization, and manufacturing. We plan and execute to meet customer demands, working in close collaboration with manufacturing partners worldwide. Within this, the S&OP/E Process team plays a critical role in connecting the dots across functions - ensuring that business decisions are grounded in solid data and cross-functional alignment. You will report to the Manager S&OP/E Process.
What you'll do here as Sales & Operations Planning Lead
This is not a maintenance role - it is a building role. The S&OP process at Axis already has key elements in place and is actively influencing business decisions. Your mission will be to elevate it further: improving data quality, raising process maturity, and strengthening how the organization aligns supply with demand. You will turn complex information into clear decision-ready material for senior leadership and ensure that every cycle drive action.
Leading Executive S&OP meetings - preparing, facilitating, and presenting scenarios, risks, opportunities, and trade-offs that enable fast, well-founded decisions by senior leadership
Owning the full monthly S&OP cycle - preparing, documenting, and communicating outcomes, ensuring decisions have clear owners and timelines, and following up on actions and align with the S&OE process
Driving cross-functional collaboration across Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Product Management, Finance, and Sales - ensuring high-quality input to the process and that all functions are aligned
Advancing the S&OP process maturity - identifying bottlenecks, improving data quality, and establishing best practices as the process continues to evolve
Continuously improving the S&OP process by actively engaging with stakeholders across functions to gather input, refine ways of working, and share best practices
Contributing to strategic development initiatives, including supporting the implementation of improved supply planning capabilities and new system tools
Who are we looking for?
You lead through influence, simplify the complex, and are not afraid to respectfully challenge when needed. You build trust across functions by being genuinely curious about others' challenges and skilled at motivating colleagues to deliver high-quality input, even when workloads are high.
You bring structure to the unstructured. Where others see ambiguity, you see an opportunity to create clarity and drive improvement. You combine this with persistence and strong self-leadership - when progress takes time, you keep iterating rather than giving up.
You connect supply chain decisions to broader business outcomes, understanding the impact on cash flow, customer satisfaction, and company growth.
A Master's degree (or equivalent) in supply chain, engineering, economics, or a related field - or corresponding professional experience
At least 5 years of experience within supply chain operations
Demonstrated experience in process development and change management - particularly in environments where processes are not yet fully established
The ability to communicate complex information clearly and present actionable recommendations to senior stakeholders
Strong collaborative skills, with a track record of working effectively across multiple functions and levels.
Fluency in English (spoken and written)
Hands-on experience with Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), Integrated Business Planning (IBP), and/or Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) processes - ideally in an international, high-complexity environment
Familiarity with supply planning tools and systems
A strong understanding of how supply chain performance is connected to financial results and customer experience
Location: Lund, Sweden (hybrid)
Employment type: Permanent, full-time (100%)
Reports to: Manager S&OP/E Process
