The Opportunity: Be Part of a Major Digital Transformation
We are launching a major, business-critical ERP transformation program, moving our supply chain ecosystem into modern SAP modules (including SAP IBP, EWM, and Digital Manufacturing). We are seeking a Supply Chain Planning Analyst to act as a vital bridge between our suppliers and internal project teams, ensuring our data, parameters, and logistics networks are perfectly aligned for a flawless system rollout.
Your Role & Responsibilities
- Supplier Engagement & Data Gathering (Primary Focus): Reach out to production part suppliers to gather critical packaging information and supplier lead times. You will be responsible for updating and maintaining our internal packaging databases and systems.
- Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Validation (Secondary Focus): Help validate internal part parameters within our current ERP system to ensure a clean data migration.
- Project Support & Escalation: Track supplier responses, proactively flag bottlenecks, and ensure smooth communication across cross-functional teams (IT, Procurement, and Operations).
What We Are Looking For
Top 3 Core Skills:
- SAP / ERP Exposure: Hands-on experience or exposure to ERP platforms (Supply Chain, Warehouse, or Manufacturing modules preferred).
- Supplier & Stakeholder Coordination: Proactive communication mindset. You prefer picking up the phone to build relationships and drive results rather than just relying on email.
- Process Tracking & Problem Resolution: A project-support mindset with the ability to spot data gaps and systematically resolve or escalate them.
Industry & Background Experience:
- Experience working in a process-driven or project-based supply chain environment.
- Backgrounds in Manufacturing, Automotive, FMCG, Retail Supply Chain, or Logistics & Distribution are highly valued.
- A degree in Supply Chain, Business, or IT is preferred but not essential. SAP certifications are an advantage but not mandatory.
Your Skillset
To thrive in this role, you should possess a working knowledge of:
- Business Process Improvement: Ability to gather data, illustrate opportunities to reduce waste/variation, and support requirements analysis for process changes.
- Analytical & Critical Thinking: Skill in using logical analysis (and tools like flow charts or Pareto charts) to define problems, compare alternative solutions, and disclose meaningful data patterns.
- Problem Solving: A knack for examining operational issues from the perspective of different stakeholders and using fact-finding techniques to resolve them.
- Project & Logistics Management: Ability to provide input for project tracking (Gantt charts), map out activity lead times, and maintain highly accurate logistics records.
Interview Process
We are looking to fill this position ASAP. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a single-stage, 60-minute Face-to-Face interview utilizing the STAR format.
