FAQ

Supply Chain Officer vs Procurement Officer, what is the difference?

Procurement focuses on sourcing and buying, getting the best price and terms from vendors. Supply chain focuses on planning: how much to order, when, and how it flows through the business. Some companies merge both into one role, so check your org chart before posting.

What is a red flag when screening candidates for this role?

Someone who can talk about forecasting concepts but cannot explain a time a forecast was wrong and what they did about it. Supply chain work is mostly about handling the exceptions, so ask for a specific stockout or overstock story.

How can we write a stronger job ad for this position?

State which systems the person will actually use day to day. A candidate who has run forecasts in Excel for years may not be a fit if you need someone who lives inside SAP MM, and vice versa.

Does this role need experience in a specific product category?

It helps but is not mandatory for most roles. Perishable or highly regulated goods (food, pharma) are the exception, since shelf life and compliance rules change how planning works.
