Demand Planner - KZ/KG

In the context of “giving users easy access to anything in their city”, Q-commerce (Quick Commerce) is the business unit that aims to provide immediacy to all product needs that a user might have, from delivering a video game to sending a gift... to filling up their fridge. We do that through 3 verticals: Groceries with Partners, Groceries with our own Micro Fulfillment Centers (MFCs), and Retail Shops.

As part of the MFCs Vertical team, the Demand Planner is a crucial position in our structure: accurately forecasting future product needs and strategically placing purchase orders with vendors is key to effectively replenishing our stores, meeting customer needs while minimizing food waste.

• Improve forecast accuracy by utilizing historical sales data to adjust demand forecasts for promotions, seasonal variations, special events and new products, among others.

• Work closely with category management, marketing and operations teams to gather relevant information for aligning demand forecasts with supply chain capabilities.

• Maintain and adjust purchasing tool parameters (safety stocks, bank holidays,…) to ensure inventory optimization.

• Be responsible for the supply planning and replenishment of our MFCs, by creating purchase orders and monitoring supplier delivery

• Enhance performance of suppliers (fill rates, no shows, delays, incidents) by facilitating communication, addressing concerns and working collaboratively with them to establish improvement plans.

• Monitor and report Supply Chain Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of your country.

• Analyze and interpret data (availability, inventory levels, turnover, shrinkage, fill rates…)  to identify trends, potential risks and opportunities for improvement.

• Drive action plans to achieve operational excellence in the supply chain by optimizing processes, reducing costs, improving efficiency and enhancing overall performance.
