Demand and Supply Chain Manager - North America

Demand and Supply Chain Manager - North America Location: North America (Remote / Hybrid) Reports to: Supply Chain Transformation Lead, Life Scientific (based in Europe) About Life Scientific What makes Life Scientific stand out? At Life Scientific, we reverse-engineer and manufacture high-quality, off-patent crop protection products that perform to the same standards as the original, helping farmers access sustainable and affordable solutions worldwide. We're doing things differently, very differently. We're not just participating; we're transforming the industry. We're on a mission to become the world's most successful crop protection innovator. It's no easy task, but it's worth it! So, how will we achieve it? Well, we won't do it by doing what everyone else is doing. We'll make it happen by driving innovation into everything we do, by pioneering, and by creating through our people, technology and process, at every level. What's our goal ? We're an R&D crop protection company driven by an extraordinary ambition - we aim to be the ultimate innovators in our field and deliver high-quality choices to farmers and play a pivotal role in global food production. What's our spirit ? We are an intensely human company. Our spirit is a mix of shared leadership and fun, fostering an environment where collaboration and enjoyment go hand in hand. No one here is interested in micromanaging, we have clear goals and we let people get after them, in their own way. We don’t want to be some soulless multinational, we want to create a place where we can do our best work . It won’t be perfect, and it won’t always be easy ... but it will be worth it! North America is one of our fastest growing and most strategically important markets. We are still actively building our commercial and operational footprint here, and this role will be central to that growth. We're looking for someone who wants to build something, not just run something: an entrepreneurial Demand and Supply Chain Manager who will lead the planning, supplier governance, and supply chain execution that underpins this expansion, and who will work hand in hand with Commercial and colleagues across the wider organisation as new customer and supplier relationships are built across the region. Purpose of the Role Reporting to the Supply Chain Transformation Lead (based in Europe), the Demand and Supply Chain Manager will own end-to-end demand and supply planning for Life Scientific's North American business: integrating demand and production volume data, directing procurement and MRP execution, and representing Supply Chain in supplier qualification, performance governance, and cross-functional decision-making across the region. Life Scientific runs a lean, global virtual factory model, and Supply Chain leadership sits in Europe. This means the role carries a high degree of autonomy and calls for genuine entrepreneurial instinct: there is no established local playbook to follow, so the successful candidate will need to build the processes, relationships, and ways of working that North America doesn't yet have, proposing solutions rather than waiting to be asked. Expect, at least in the early stages, to take on aspects of the supply chain function beyond a typical planner's remit, as priorities demand. As North American Country Leads build new customer relationships in a market that is still taking shape, this role is also a critical, responsive partner to the US and Canada commercial leads, working side by side with them so that no sales opportunity is lost to a supply chain gap. The same builder's mindset applies internally: this person will need to proactively forge working relationships across Regulatory, R&D, Quality, Technical Operations and Finance, so North America is properly connected into, and represented within, the wider Life Scientific organisation. This role ensures that materials, intermediates, and finished products move seamlessly through the North American supply network, …
