Cluster Manager Planning

• You lead a cluster of professionals working on strategic planning products, tactical portfolio planning, and forecasting. You bring people, content, and interests together and create connections within the cluster, between the three ARIP clusters, and with the broader organization.
• You fulfill a strong role in the ARIP MT and serve as the connecting link between Asset Management and Operations. From an integrated perspective, you contribute to direction, priorities, and collective results, and you organize early alignment regarding ambition, feasibility, capacity, dependencies, and choices. In doing so, you build sustainable relationships with, among others, Strategy, Finance, and Operations.
• You provide direction to the further development of planning. You lead changes and stimulate innovation, digitalization, and the responsible use of AI, with the goal of making planning increasingly smarter, more integrated, and more effective.

Planning stands at the center of the movement from strategy to execution. You ensure that strategic ambitions, risks, external developments, and execution reality converge into one consistent story and into concrete planning products. In doing so, you combine leadership with organizational and political sensitivity. You do not need to be the subject matter expert on every topic yourself, but you ask the right questions, organize expertise, and ensure clear decision-making.

You steer towards coherence, quality, and predictability. At the same time, you build a learning team that can respond flexibly to new insights, changing regulations, growing network tasks, and dependencies in the chain. You make dilemmas explicit, bring decision-making to the appropriate level, and monitor that decisions are translated into actions and ownership.
