Inventory Management & Master Data :

  • Track inventory health (DOH, turns, coverage vs policy) and trigger proactive actions (rebalancing, planned run‑outs, write‑off prevention).
  • Implement best-practice controls (cycle counts, variance RCA, reorder policy reviews) to lift turns and reduce carrying cost.
  • Own planning parameters (safety stock, min / max, lead times, lot sizes) with a fixed review cadence.
  • Ensure SAP master data accuracy (UOM, lead times, MRP views, locations / bins, batch / expiry); resolve gaps with Warehouse / IT and enforce governance.
  • Identify process opportunities across planning and inventory.
  • Introduce best practices and emerging tech to improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Stay current on industry trends and methods.
  • Ad Hoc :

  • Clear communicator and collaborator across Sales / Marketing / Finance / Supply.
  • Growth mindset, resilient, innovative, customer‑centric, and humble.
  • Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making; able to lead cross‑functional forums.
