Job description

About the Company SourceHub operates as a Shared Services Center (SSC) for the ScanSource Group, a U.S.-based multinational company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. ScanSource specializes in the distribution of global technology products and services from leading partners such as Microsoft, Dell, HP, Intel, and Lenovo, delivering innovation and support that drive our customers’ digital transformation. As SourceHub, we are responsible for delivering Finance and Accounting, Human Resources, Information Technology, Procurement and Supply Chain, Legal and Compliance, and general administrative services with efficiency and quality.

We are seeking an INVENTORY PLANNING ANALYST to manage inventory planning, replenishment activities, and purchasing operations for assigned vendor lines. This role is responsible for ensuring product availability while optimizing inventory investment, inventory turns, and overall business performance.

This is not a traditional sourcing or procurement role focused on contract negotiations or supplier selection. Instead, the position sits at the intersection of Inventory Management, Demand Planning, and Purchasing Operations, requiring close collaboration with Sales, Vendor Business Managers, and Supply Chain teams to align inventory levels with business demand and sales opportunities.

The ideal candidate will bring strong analytical skills, experience managing inventory and purchase orders, and the ability to make data-driven decisions in a fast-paced distribution environment.

Manage inventory levels and product mix for assigned vendor lines to support sales demand while optimizing inventory investment.
Analyze sales trends, forecasts, and sales pipeline data to determine replenishment needs.
Create, process, and manage purchase orders for hardware, software, and services.
Monitor open purchase orders and proactively follow up on delivery commitments.
Update and maintain accurate Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) information in SAP and related systems.
Investigate and resolve Vendor Receipt Discrepancies (VRDs) in a timely manner.
Execute stock rotation initiatives and inventory balancing activities.
Manage slow-moving, excess, obsolete, and end-of-life inventory.
Partner closely with Vendor Business Managers and Sales teams to support customer opportunities and demand requirements.
Monitor inventory performance metrics, including inventory turns, gross profit contribution, and return on inventory.
Maintain strong working relationships with vendor partners and internal stakeholders.
Support continuous improvement initiatives related to inventory planning and purchasing processes.

Requirements and skills

Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.
Experience in Inventory Management, Supply Planning, Demand Planning, Purchasing Operations, Materials Planning, or Supply Chain.
Experience managing purchase orders and inventory replenishment activities.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Experience working with ERP systems, preferably SAP.
Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with data and performance metrics.
Ability to prioritize multiple activities and manage deadlines in a dynamic environment.
English proficiency for collaboration with global teams, vendors, and business partners.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in technology distribution, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, or inventory-intensive environments.
Background in Inventory Planning, Materials Planning, Production Planning (PCP), Supply Planning, or Replenishment Planning.
Experience managing inventory performance indicators such as Inventory Turns, Service Level, Fill Rate, and Return on Inventory.
Knowledge of forecasting methodologies and demand planning processes.
Previous experience supporting vendor-managed product portfolios.
Experience working in cross-functional environments involving Sales, Operations, Finance, and Supply Chain teams.
