The Materials and Import Planner is responsible for managing the ordering and importation of raw materials, packaging, and finished goods. The goal is to ensure that stock levels meet targets and that customer and production deadlines are met. This role also involves managing inventory to reduce slow-moving and aging stock, mitigating the risk of excess and obsolescence.

Key responsibilities
  • Ensure timely ordering, placement, and confirmation of material requirements based on production schedules and business systems.
  • Create Purchase Orders (POs) for inbound materials to guarantee timely deliveries.
  • Interact with supply and production planners, vendors, and buyers daily to address material delivery issues.
  • Utilize SAP ECC & APO modules for material call-off planning.
  • Maintain and review stock levels to optimize cash flow and meet stock targets.
  • Generate weekly MRP reports to analyze material availability and address shortages.
  • Develop action plans for slow-moving stocks with technical teams to minimize stock write-offs.
  • Evaluate vendors' performance on a monthly basis, focusing on on-time and in-full (OTIF) deliveries.
  • Address delays or availability issues with buyers and work towards resolutions.
  • Oversee the end-to-end import process for all inbound materials from abroad.
  • Review and analyze logistical requirements for import orders, including transportation and trade compliance.
  • Liaise with freight forwarders and brokers to manage import requirements and ensure accurate transportation instructions.
  • Obtain necessary import documentation and ensure compliance with Free Trade Agreements.
  • Manage billing and invoice requirements, resolve disputes, and assist with accounts payable queries.
  • Verify the accuracy of documentation for import shipments and correspond with government agencies for import permits.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and customs requirements, including maintaining accurate records for audits.
  • Assist with special projects such as re-export, duty drawback, freight tenders, and commercialization.
  • Update and analyze the import schedule tracker to maintain a cost-efficient process.
  • Support the S&OP process and take necessary actions as assigned.
  • Support Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) and Food Safety audits as required.
Qualifications and skills
  • Bachelor's Degree in Business or related field.
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in planning roles within Supply Chain, preferably in food manufacturing.
  • Good command of English.
  • Proficiency in ERP and MS Office applications; SAP experience is highly advantageous.
  • Strong planning and analytical skills, with the ability to break down complex issues and work under tight deadlines.
  • Excellent communication skills, able to build strong relationships and challenge decisions constructively.
  • Solid business acumen and operational insight, with a collaborative mindset to work effectively across functions and levels
