  • Support new product introductions and end-of-life transitions to ensure smooth supply continuity.

  • Prepare regular demand planning reports and performance metrics for senior management.

Essential Skills & Experience:

  • Proven experience in demand planning, forecasting, or supply chain management — ideally within electricals, consumer goods, or related distribution.

  • Strong analytical and numerical skills, with proficiency in Excel and demand planning tools.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines in a dynamic environment.

  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.

Desirable:

  • Experience in the Major Domestic Appliance (MDA) or Electrical Distribution sector.

  • Familiarity with forecasting seasonal and promotional demand patterns.
