Transformation Manager

Overview:
**Are you ready to drive PepsiCo’s digital evolution and accelerate transformation across our global operations?**

Join our **Global Integrated Business Planning team.**
The Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process aims to transform business decision making that will result in profitable and sustainable growth balancing strategic, financial and operational objectives. It is a cross-functional, rolling planning process integrating product, marketing, sales, supply chain, partner and financial plans into one aligned plan for the business through a global standard. This single set of numbers will leverage next generation orchestration and analytic technology coupled with data and digital savvy PepsiCo talent, and - in most markets - an enabling decision-support tool, ensuring agile and fast decision-making to take us to the next level above the competition. IBP goes beyond supply & demand matching; it is a leap forward for the business, enabling faster, more coordinated and more informed decision making with increased visibility from supplier to customer. It is action-oriented and focused on the business across weekly Sales & Operations Execution (iS&OE), Period Sales & Operations Planning (iS&OP), and Yearly Strategic Planning.
