Head of Sales & Operations Planning – Prefab at Thomas Betong

Description:

Do you want to build one of the most important functions in our future Prefab business? At Thomas Betong, we don't just build with concrete – we build a sustainable society for the future. As part of Thomas Concrete Group, a family-owned international corporation headquartered in Gothenburg, we combine long-term vision with rapid development. The corporation was founded in 1955 and is now active in Sweden, Norway, Germany, Poland, and the USA. Thomas Concrete Group has annual revenues of approximately 11 billion kronor and around 2,400 employees. The Swedish operations, Thomas Betong, generate approximately 2 billion kronor in revenue and is one of Sweden's leading players in concrete and prefabricated concrete solutions. The Prefab business unit is an important part of Swedish operations and delivers prefabricated concrete solutions for residential buildings, public facilities, industrial and commercial buildings. We are responsible for the entire chain – from sales and design to construction, production, and delivery. Now we are strengthening our organization with a new strategic key role. We are looking for a Head of Sales & Operations Planning who wants to build and develop a function with direct impact on our business. This is not an administrative role. It is an opportunity to create a modern Sales & Operations Planning function where sales, projects, design, and production work from the same planning process and shared goals. You will be the one who creates structure, drives change, and ensures we have the right capacity at the right time. About the Assignment You will have overall responsibility for the business unit's Sales & Operations Planning process and become the connecting force between market and production. Through analysis, forecasting, and cross-functional leadership, you ensure that our capacity matches market demand and that we deliver on our customer promises – with high profitability. The role is as much about change management as planning. You drive the development of working methods, processes, and digital tools while creating alignment across the organization's different functions. You report to Marina Gasparius, Business Unit Manager Prefab, and become an important part of the business unit's management team. Your Main Areas of Responsibility You will, among other things: Own and develop the business unit's Sales & Operations Planning process. Ensure accurate forecasts and long-term capacity planning. Translate sales forecasts and project portfolios into realistic production and resource plans. Identify bottlenecks, risks, and capacity challenges before they impact delivery or economics. Lead cross-functional planning forums between sales, project management, design, and production. Develop decision-making materials for prioritization, investments, and replanning. Develop working methods, KPIs, and digital planning tools. Contribute to increased delivery precision, higher resource utilization, and improved profitability. Who Are You? You are an experienced leader in planning, supply chain, or operations development and have likely worked in a project-based industrial or manufacturing environment. You are driven by creating order in complex environments and thrive when building structures that make a real difference for operations. You have strong analytical capabilities but are also a skilled communicator who gets people from different parts of the organization to work toward the same goals. You see the big picture, challenge established ways of working, and have the courage to make decisions even when not all answers are available. We Believe You Have Academic background in engineering, logistics, industrial economics, or equivalent. Several years of experience in Sales & Operations Planning, Integrated Business Planning, or similar strategic planning roles. Experience from project-based industrial, construction, or manufacturing operations. Documented experience in change management and process development. Good business understanding and experience working data-driven. Experience leading cross-functional collaborations. Ability to translate analysis into decisions and implementation. Why Thomas Betong? With us, you get the opportunity to make a real impact. You become part of an operation in an exciting development phase and receive the mandate to develop a function that will be crucial for the business unit's continued growth and profitability. You join a management team where you work close to the business and contribute to developing how we plan and execute our projects. We offer short decision-making paths, a family-owned company with a long-term perspective, and a culture characterized by collaboration, responsibility-taking, and continuous development. At the same time, you have the opportunity to be part of an international corporation with knowledge exchange and long-term development opportunities. This is a role for someone who wants to combine strategy, business, and change management – and who is motivated by building structures that create results far beyond your own function.
