Job description:
He/she will serve as the primary technical authority for supply chain planning system implementations and optimizations — bridging the gap between business stakeholders and data engineering teams.
He/she will drive end-to-end delivery of complex supply chain transformation programs leveraging industry-leading platforms including John Galt Atlas Planning, Blue Yonder and Kinaxis (in order of preference).
The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on expertise in demand planning and MRP/production planning modules, a strong command of SQL and data engineering practices, and the communication skills needed to translate complex technical solutions into clear business outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
Supply Chain Platform Implementation & Advisory -
* Lead full-cycle implementations and configuration of John Galt Atlas Planning, Blue Yonder (JDA) or Kinaxis RapidResponse modules including Demand Planning, MRP, and Production Planning.
* Design and optimize planning workflows, master data structures, and system integrations across supply chain platforms.
* Provide expert-level technical guidance on system architecture, data flows, and best-practice configuration aligned to client business requirements.
* Conduct gap analyses between current-state processes and target-state system capabilities; define actionable roadmaps.
Data Engineering & SQL Development
* Develop complex SQL queries, stored procedures, and data transformation pipelines to support supply chain analytics and reporting.
* Design and build scalable data models for demand signals, inventory positions, supplier lead times, and production capacity.
* Architect ETL/ELT pipelines to integrate source ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) with planning platforms and downstream reporting layers.
* Ensure data quality, consistency, and traceability across planning datasets; implement data validation frameworks.
Analytics & Insights Delivery
* Develop demand sensing and statistical forecasting models to improve forecast accuracy and inventory efficiency.
* Build advanced analytics dashboards (Power BI, Tableau, or similar) surfacing KPIs such as OTIF, forecast bias, fill rates, and inventory turns.
* Partner with analytics and data science teams to apply ML-driven approaches to demand forecasting and supply risk identification.
Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
* Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into clear business language.
* Lead and facilitate workshops, design sessions, and executive readouts across business and IT stakeholders.
* Produce high-quality documentation including functional specifications, data dictionaries, solution design documents, and training materials.
* Mentor junior consultants and contribute to internal knowledge management and methodology development.
Required Qualifications
Platform Experience

* Deep expertise in at least two of the following modules:
* Demand Planning / Demand Management
* MRP / Material Requirements Planning
* Production Planning & Detailed Scheduling
* S&OP / IBP (Integrated Business Planning)
* Proven track record of at least three full-lifecycle supply chain platform implementations in a consulting or client-facing capacity.
Technical Skills
* Advanced SQL proficiency: complex joins, window functions, CTEs, performance tuning, and query optimization across large datasets.
* Strong data engineering skills including ETL/ELT design, data pipeline development, and integration architecture.
* Proficiency in at least one data engineering or scripting language (Python, Spark, or equivalent).
* Experience working with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Azure Synapse, AWS Redshift, or Google BigQuery.
* Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD practices, and modern data stack tooling.
Soft Skills & Professional Competencies -
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage confidently at all levels — from data engineers to C-suite executives.
* Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
* Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams and deliver results in fast-paced, ambiguous project environments.
* Client-first mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

* Formal certification in any one of John Galt Atlas Planning, Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, SAP IBP, or equivalent supply chain planning platforms.
* Experience in FMCG, food & beverage, retail, or consumer goods verticals.
* Knowledge of CPG and Food and Beverage manufacturing.
* Exposure to statistical forecasting methods including Holt-Winters, ARIMA, Bass Diffusion, or ML-based demand sensing approaches.
