We are seeking a Material Management Specialist to join our Factory Loading & Material Management team. In this role, you will coordinate material planning and inventory management activities to ensure material availability and support production requirements. You will act as a key connection point between Scheduling, Procurement, Warehouse, Production, Engineering, and other cross‑functional teams, proactively identifying and resolving material shortages, inventory discrepancies, and material‑flow issues.

The role requires strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, ownership, and the ability to independently coordinate actions through resolution.

• Coordinate material planning activities, monitoring requirements, inventory levels, shortages, open orders, lead times, and supply constraints to ensure material availability according to production priorities.
• Analyze historical and forecasted material demand to support inventory optimization and planning of long‑lead‑time materials, including the definition and periodic review of Safety Stocks, Reorder Points, and other MRP parameters based on demand, lead time, supply risk, and inventory targets.
• Monitor overall inventory levels and health, identifying shortages, excess inventory, slow‑moving materials, and opportunities to optimize inventory while protecting production continuity.
• Coordinate cross‑functional actions with Scheduling, Procurement, Warehouse, Production, Engineering, and others to proactively resolve material shortages, constraints, and other issues impacting production.
• Investigate and drive resolution of inventory discrepancies, including differences between physical inventory and SAP records, missing or unreported material consumption, incorrect transactions, and other deviations. Lead root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for recurring issues.
• Support the analysis and identification of obsolete and phase‑out materials, working closely with Engineering to validate their technical applicability, replacement or discontinuation strategy, remaining requirements, and inventory disposition.
• Supporting Material Master governance, maintaining and validating relevant MRP settings, ensuring data consistency, supporting users, and coordinating corrections or system‑related issues with the appropriate functions.
• Support Material Master governance and data accuracy, validating planning parameters and coordinating cross‑functional corrections when master data, BOM information, procurement settings, or warehouse information could negatively impact MRP or material availability.
• Monitor relevant Material Management KPIs and lead continuous‑improvement initiatives focused on material availability, and inventory optimization.

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in Material Planning, Inventory Management, Logistics, Supply Chain,…
