• Maintain key planning parameters, including lead times, safety stock levels, and order quantities.
• Monitor supply execution—tracking open purchase orders, inbound shipments, and supplier performance.
• Prepare and distribute regular supply chain reports, tools, and KPI dashboards.
• Support and contribute to S&OP governance, including meeting preparation, materials, and action follow-up.
• Build strong cross-functional relationships to support collaboration, continuous improvement, and effective communication across the supply chain.

About You

• Minimum 2.5 years’ experience in supply chain, logistics, or related operations.
• Proven analytical and data modelling skills, with advanced Excel proficiency.
• Strong understanding of end-to-end supply chain processes and planning principles.
• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with excellent time management and prioritisation skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to influence and engage diverse stakeholders.
