About The Role

We’re looking for a data-driven Demand Planning & Inventory expert to own our forecasting process, lead S&OP, and optimize inventory across all warehouses. You’ll ensure product availability, minimize stockouts and excess, and elevate planning accuracy—while keeping master data in SAP rock-solid.

What You’ll Do

Demand Planning & Forecasting

Build and maintain accurate forecasts for all product lines using historicals, market trends, and sales inputs.
Apply statistical tools / APS to evaluate models and test new methodologies.
Continuously refine forecasts based on market dynamics and stakeholder feedback.

S&OP Leadership

Run the monthly S&OP cycle to align demand and supply with business goals.

Facilitate cross-functional S&OP meetings; surface risks, gaps, and scenarios.

Communicate forecast and inventory status to stakeholders regularly.

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.

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.

Ad Hoc

Take on related tasks that support the team’s objectives.

Education

What You’ll Bring

Bachelor’s in Supply Chain, Business, or related; Master’s a plus.

Experience

5+ years in demand planning / forecasting or supply chain (FMCG / pet food preferred).

Hands‑on S&OP and inventory management experience.

Strong proficiency with APS / ERP (SAP or similar), MRP, purchasing, and production planning.

Advanced Excel and Microsoft 365; working knowledge of Project and Power BI.

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

Certifications (Nice To Have)

APICS / CPIM / CSCP or equivalent; LEAN / Six Sigma (Black Belt or above a plus).

Skills & Attributes

Forecasting & statistical modeling; inventory optimization.

End‑to‑end supply chain understanding (procurement, production, logistics).

Sharp data analysis and scenario modeling; detail‑oriented with high data hygiene.

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.

Why Join Us

High‑impact, end‑to‑end ownership of the planning cycle.

Cross‑functional exposure and leadership in S&OP.

Opportunity to modernize tools, data, and processes.
