Almarai is the benchmark FMCG employer in Saudi Arabia — structurally sound, consistently profitable, and with one of the most sophisticated supply chain operations in the region given the complexity of fresh and chilled product management across a GCC-wide depot network. A Senior Planning Officer role here gives you direct SAP exposure within a high-SKU, multi-depot environment, and Almarai's internal career development programs are well-regarded.

For early-career supply planners looking to build their credentials at a world-class FMCG group in KSA, this is a strong entry point with a genuinely recognized brand.
