About the roleWe are looking for a Planning Executive to own demand, supply and inventory planning for our electric motorbike business. You will turn sales signals into a production plan that the factory can actually run, make sure materials are in the right place at the right time, and keep inventory healthy.
This is a role for someone who is fast and sharp with numbers, well-organized in managing many moving pieces, and skilled at working with people - because a good plan is one that other functions buy into and can deliver, not just a clean spreadsheet.
ResponsibilitiesDemand Planning
Build and maintain rolling demand forecasts by SKU, channel and region (monthly and quarterly horizons).

Monitor inventory health: stock cover, turnover, ageing, slow-moving and obsolete (SMO); drive corrective actions.
Partner with Warehouse on cycle counts, stock accuracy and FIFO discipline.
Drive working-capital improvements through inventory optimization without hurting service levels.
S&OP and Cross-Functional Coordination
Drive the monthly S&OP cycle: prepare materials, run pre-meetings, facilitate the consensus meeting, document decisions and actions.
Align demand, supply and financial views; surface misalignments and trade-offs to leadership.
Work daily with Sales, Marketing, Production, Purchasing, Warehouse, R&D and Finance to keep the plan executable.
Reporting, Analysis & Continuous Improvement

Conduct ad-hoc analyses on plan variances, supply risks and working capital.
Identify opportunities to improve planning processes, data quality and automation; lead small improvement projects.
