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.

- Facilitate cross-functional S&OP meetings; surface risks, gaps, and scenarios.
- Communicate forecast and inventory status to stakeholders regularly.
- 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.
- Take on related tasks that support the team’s objectives.
What You’ll Bring:
- Bachelor’s in Supply Chain, Business, or related; Master’s a plus.
- 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.
- APICS/CPIM/CSCP or equivalent; LEAN/Six Sigma (Black Belt or above a plus).
- 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.
- 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.
