• Collaborate with IT and business stakeholders to define system requirements, design technical solutions, and implement capabilities that support inventory operations.
• Drive standardization and automation in inventory‑related system processes (e.g., replenishment logic, stock status rules, item setup workflows).
• Develop and manage automated job scheduling and sequencing for material master data updates to ensure timely and accurate data synchronization across systems.
• Define, track, and report on KPIs related to system performance, data quality, inventory accuracy, and operational effectiveness.
• Lead system testing, change management, and validation activities to maintain system reliability and ensure business continuity.
• Manage or support data migration, ERP transitions, and system implementation projects.

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience working with inventory management systems and item master data in a supply chain or manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of SAP and system integration concepts.
• Proven experience leading cross‑functional system initiatives and delivering scalable solutions.
• Knowledge of data governance practices, data mapping, and inventory control methodologies.
• Advanced analytical skills with proficiency in SQL, Excel, or BI/reporting tools.
