About the Role

• Monitoring inventory levels and supporting inventory optimisation across multiple locations.
• Aligning supply plans with demand forecasts and identifying potential risks or gaps in supply.
• Coordinating with global and regional stakeholders to ensure product availability and allocation decisions.
• Supporting S&OP/IBP processes and contributing to improvements in planning accuracy.
• Analysing supply constraints and proposing mitigation strategies.
• Driving continuous improvement in planning processes, tools, and data accuracy.
• Supporting regional projects related to supply chain transformation and planning excellence.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong understanding of inventory planning, forecasting, and supply-demand balancing principles.
• Industry experience in FMCG, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, or similar sectors (an advantage).
• Comfort working in a shared services or remote regional setup.

What Makes This Role Exciting

Here’s why this opportunity stands out:
