Technology and AI: Help analyse, configure or implement platforms such as Kinaxis, Coupa, Celonis, SAP S/4HANA or o9, and explore how AI and agentic solutions can improve processes.
Practice and learning: Contribute to thought leadership, offering assets and knowledge sharing while staying current on AI-enabled planning, digital twins, Scope 3 and emerging regulation.
