Why Work at Lenovo
Description and Requirements
Role Purpose
The Supply & Planning Lead, Europe & META will establish end-to-end ownership of the integrated business planning process across ISG Europe & META, connecting:
Sales Targets → Demand & Pipeline → Forecast → Supply → Business Execution
The role will provide a single point of accountability for translating commercial priorities and market demand into an executable business and supply plan.
Working across Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, Operations and ISG Leadership, the position will drive greater forecast discipline, improve demand and supply alignment, and provide earlier visibility of gaps and risks requiring management action.
This is not an additional coordination layer. The role is expected to challenge assumptions, reconcile competing priorities, drive cross-functional decisions and ensure actions are translated into execution across markets and business segments.
Key Responsibilities:
Own Integrated Business Planning: Lead the end-to-end regional planning process, connecting sales targets, demand, pipeline, forecast and supply into one integrated business plan.
Lead Forecast Management: Own the consolidated Europe & META ISG forecast, driving accuracy, consistency, predictability and clear accountability across markets and business segments.
Drive Supply Alignment: Translate demand and forecast into regional supply requirements, proactively identifying constraints, imbalances and potential revenue or customer impacts.
Coordinate Sales Target Planning: Lead the regional target-setting process, ensuring alignment with market opportunities, growth priorities, pipeline, forecast and supply capabilities.
Challenge and Reconcile Plans: Challenge assumptions, identify gaps between targets, demand, forecast and supply, and drive corrective actions and cross-functional prioritization.
Establish Planning Governance: Define the planning cadence, roles, inputs, timelines and escalation mechanisms, ensuring effective cross-functional reviews and follow-through.
Enable Leadership Decisions: Provide ISG Leadership with a consolidated view of targets, forecast, demand and supply, highlighting risks, opportunities, scenarios and recommended actions.
Drive Execution and Continuous Improvement: Ensure planning decisions translate into measurable business outcomes while continuously improving processes, data quality and accountability.
8+ years of experience in demand/supply planning, S&OP/IBP, forecasting or commercial planning, ideally in technology or a complex industry.
Strong expertise in integrated business planning, connecting sales targets, pipeline, demand, forecast, supply and revenue execution.
Proven experience managing regional planning across multiple countries and markets.
Strong understanding of forecast accuracy, bias, backlog, demand-supply gaps and supply constraints.
Excellent analytical and scenario-modelling skills, with advanced Excel and Power BI capabilities; experience with SAP IBP, Anaplan or Kinaxis is an advantage.
Strong commercial judgment, balancing customer demand, revenue priorities and supply availability.
Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders, challenge assumptions and drive decisions and accountability in a matrix environment.
Excellent executive communication and presentation skills, with fluent English.
