Inventory Planner

1. Position Overview

The Inventory Planner works under the Deployment team and is responsible for ensuring inventory readiness to support confirmed sales orders and deployment schedules.

This role plans inventory based on signed quotations and actual project timelines, rather than long-term or speculative demand forecasts. The Inventory Planner ensures materials are available at the right time to support deployments while avoiding unnecessary overstock or urgent purchasing.

The role balances operational readiness with cash flow and working capital considerations, understanding the financial impact of buying too early, holding excess inventory, or delaying purchases.

The Inventory Planner works closely with Sales, Deployment, and Finance teams, using structured data, system reports, analysis, and regular reporting to support accurate and timely purchasing and inventory decisions.
