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.

Continuous Improvement

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.

Proven ability to juggle priorities in a fast‑paced environment.

Certifications (Nice To Have)
