• Partner with supply planning and procurement to translate demand into production, inventory targets and distribution requirements, setting safety stock levels and reorder points.
• Track inventory health metrics (stock cover, ageing, potential stock‑outs) and recommend corrective actions.
• Collaborate on trade promotions, new channel expansions and seasonal programs, quantifying incremental lift and building pre‑ and post‑event analyses.
• Support new SKU launches and phase‑outs with launch curves, cannibalisation estimates and end‑of‑life planning.
• Own demand‑planning tools and master data, build weekly/monthly KPI dashboards, and leverage ERP/planning systems to automate reporting and exception management.

Required profile

• 3–5 years of demand planning, supply chain or inventory management experience, preferably in the CPG industry.
• Proven ability to build statistical forecasts and manage a multi‑SKU portfolio.

• Advanced Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, etc.).
