ABOUT US

Pernod Ricard is a global leader in the spirits industry, with a portfolio of renowned brands including Absolut, Ricard, Ballantine’s, Chivas Regal, Jameson, Martell, Havana Club, Beefeater, Malibu, Mumm and Perrier-Jouët. In the Nordics, the Group combines its international expertise with strong local market knowledge to bring these brands to customers and consumers through tailored commercial and brand activations. 

We aim to redefine the global spirits market by inspiring people from all backgrounds to connect, share ideas and enjoy our products responsibly. We are also committed to long-term sustainability, acting in the best interests of consumers, society, the environment and our employees. 

We seek talented, bold individuals to join our team and drive innovation. After all, our brands are defined by lifestyle and mindset, but it is our people who define who we are. So, whether you are just starting your career or looking to take it to the next level, we offer a dynamic and supportive work environment that will help you grow.  

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you passionate about working for a global leader that brings iconic brands to consumers across the Nordics? Do you want to be part of an international and inclusive team that values collaboration, creativity and fun? Then look no further than Pernod Ricard Nordics, where conviviality is more than just a value – it's a way of life. 

At the heart of our Swedish operations, this role helps keep products moving smoothly from forecast to delivery and, where relevant, supports other Nordic markets. Reporting to the Head of Supply Chain, the V.I.E Supply Chain Planner plays an active role across planning, inventory optimisation, logistics and performance analysis in an international FMCG environment. A key priority will be supporting the transition to a new third-party logistics provider while ensuring business continuity and service levels. To make this happen, you will work closely with Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Customer Service, Pernod Ricard production and supply entities, and logistics partners.

KEY TASKS & RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Help drive the monthly demand and supply planning process for Sweden and, where relevant, other Nordic markets. 

• Turn demand forecasts into clear supply requirements and coordinate replenishment with Pernod Ricard production and supply entities. 

• Keep a close eye on inventory, shortages, excess and slow-moving or obsolete stock, recommending actions that balance availability, working capital and stock coverage. 

• Bring meaningful analysis and reporting to the monthly S&OP process, highlighting risks and opportunities affecting availability and inventory. 

• Coordinate supply planning for new launches, limited editions and phase-in/phase-out, aligning quantities and timelines with Sales, Marketing and operational teams. 

• Play an active part in the transition to a new 3PL, supporting the operational setup, inventory transfer and reconciliation, risk mitigation, KPI tracking and post-go-live stabilisation. 

• Keep Sales, Marketing and Customer Service informed with timely updates on product availability. 
• Track key Supply Chain KPIs—including forecast accuracy, service level, inventory coverage, out-of-stock and slow-moving inventory—and turn insights into continuous improvement actions. 

WHY JOIN US 

We aspire to foster an authentic, open, challenging and innovative culture that supports your long-term professional development. And so, we have created a working environment at Pernod Ricard that allows you to thrive.  

We champion inclusion and value different perspectives. We want our people to be their own authentic selves and we are committed to building a workplace that reflects our global consumer base. We are proud to be recognised among Forbes World's Best Employers and Equileap's top 100 Employers for Gender Equality. Conviviality is in our DNA and connects us beyond borders – you will always be welcomed for who you are and the strengths you bring.  

This role could be for you if you: 

• Hold a Master’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, Business or a related field.
• Have initial experience in Supply Chain, Planning, Logistics or Operations.
• Understand demand & supply planning, inventory management and Supply Chain KPIs.
• Are comfortable with Excel and data analysis; knowledge of planning or ERP tools is a plus.
• Are organised, proactive and solution-oriented, with strong attention to detail.
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced, international environment and communicating in English (Swedish not required).
