Planning Specialist
Your Role
As a Planning Specialist, you will serve as the dedicated focal point for New Product Introduction and Development (NPDI) and strategic business initiatives at the Jigani site. In this role, you will own the end-to-end planning and coordination of new product projects — from initial setup and resource planning through to a structured handover to the routine planning team — ensuring every transition is seamless, well-governed, and operationally sound.
You will take ownership of master data governance for new products within the ERP system, collaborating closely with Procurement, Manufacturing, Quality, and Research and Development to validate Bills of Materials, routings, and planning parameters. Acting as the central bridge across functions, you will drive cross-functional meetings to resolve bottlenecks related to material availability, capacity planning, and quality release — keeping all stakeholders aligned and informed throughout the project lifecycle.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that directly enables new business growth at site level. Your ability to manage complexity, maintain data integrity, and deliver structured handovers will be critical to the success of strategic initiatives and the long-term stability of site operations.
Who You Are
- You hold a degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field — or bring equivalent professional experience.
- You have 3 to 5 years of experience in supply chain planning, production planning, or project management within a manufacturing environment, ideally in a multinational setting.
- You bring hands-on experience with New Product Introduction or Development (NPDI) processes and understand the planning complexity that comes with launching new products.
