KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

S&OP Data Custodianship & Governance

• Own all S&OP master and operational data, including SKUs, formulation, materials, customers, suppliers, lead times, min/max levels, capacities, and costs
• Define data standards, ownership, and update frequency for each data set, and enforce them across departments
• Run regular data quality checks for completeness, accuracy, and timeliness, and close gaps with data owners
• Maintain a single data dictionary and KPI definitions so that every function reports the same numbers

Data Collection & Integration

• Collect data from ERP, production data, MRP, sales orders, procurement and shipment schedules, and market sources
• Build and maintain automated data models and pipelines that replace manual consolidation
• Reconcile data between systems and physical stock, and explain variances

S&OP Cycle Support

• Maintain demand history, support the baseline forecast, and track forecast accuracy and bias.
• Build the supply view covering production capacity, raw material coverage, inventory projections, and constraints
• Run scenarios such as demand changes, raw material shortages, vessel delays, and price movements, and quantify their impact on volume, service, and margin

Insights, Reporting & Dashboards

• Design and own the S&OP dashboards and Operational KPI scorecards
• Turn data into clear insights on what changed, why, and the recommended action
• Deliver ad-hoc analysis for management on stock deviations, raw material consumption vs standard, service levels, cost-to-serve, and working capital (Raw material and Packaging)

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, Business, or a related field (certification such as CPIM/CSCP, IBF CPF, or Power BI Data Analyst preferred).
• 3 – 4 years in data analysis, business analysis, or supply chain planning, including supporting S&OP or demand/supply planning, preferably in FMCG, agri-commodities, or feed/food manufacturing
