An international manufacturing company is looking for a Demand & Inventory Planner to lead demand forecasting and inventory planning across a complex product portfolio of more than 5,000 active finished product SKUs.

You will play a key role in connecting commercial demand with inventory, production and purchasing plans. The position involves working with intermittent demand, predominantly make-to-order products, varied supplier lead times and a large number of components and raw materials.

What will you do?

Demand planning

- Develop and maintain SKU-level demand forecasts using historical data, trends, seasonality and product life cycle information.
- Work with Sales and other teams to build and assess alternative demand scenarios, including customer plans and programmes.
- Monitor forecast accuracy and use the results to improve planning decisions.
- Define how customer orders and plans consume the forecast.

Inventory planning

- Classify the product portfolio and help define target service levels with Sales and Purchasing.
- Set inventory planning parameters, including safety stock, reorder points and maximum stock levels.
- Build medium and long-term inventory projections and assess risks such as obsolescence or excess stock.
- Work with Finance to balance product availability and inventory investment.





You will also contribute to production and purchasing planning, reporting, data quality and the company’s S&OP; processes. The role works closely with Sales, Customer Service, Production, Purchasing, Finance and IT/Data teams.

What are we looking for?

- A degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, Mathematics or a related field. Further training in Supply Chain or Data Analytics is an advantage.
- Around 3–5 years of experience in demand and inventory planning, ideally in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience developing or improving demand and inventory planning processes and managing a large, complex SKU portfolio.
- Knowledge of statistical forecasting methods, inventory control and end-to-end supply chain planning.
- Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP and planning tools. Knowledge of Power BI, Tableau or AI applications in forecasting is an advantage.
- Strong analytical skills, sound judgement and the ability to work with stakeholders across different functions.

What do we offer?

A permanent position with a broad view of the supply chain and the opportunity to shape planning processes in an international industrial environment.
