Department: Supply Chain

We are seeking a data-driven supply chain professional to oversee pharmacy replenishment norms and distribution planning for our retail network in Africa. Based in India, this role will involve designing replenishment frameworks, setting stocking norms, analyzing demand/sales data, and monitoring compliance by the in-country distribution teams.

This position plays a vital role in ensuring product availability, minimizing expiries, and driving supply chain efficiency in our retail pharmacy network.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Establish and continuously refine stocking norms, safety stock levels, and replenishment cycles for each pharmacy based on sales velocity and product criticality.
  • Develop and maintain guidelines for assortment management and seasonal demand variations.
  • Analyze pharmacy sales, consumption, and stock movement data to create replenishment models and forecast requirements.
  • Track KPIs such as stock-outs, fill rates, inventory turns, and expiries across the pharmacy network.
  • Provide actionable insights to country supply chain and operations teams to improve availability and reduce waste.
  • Monitor adherence of local distribution teams to defined replenishment norms.
  • Highlight exceptions (stock-outs, excess stock, expiries) and initiate corrective action with in-country stakeholders.
  • Drive standardization of replenishment processes across geographies.

Requirements:

  • Graduate / Post-graduate in Supply Chain, Operations, Data Analytics, or related field. MBA preferred.
  • 4–5 years of experience in supply chain planning, retail replenishment, or distribution analytics, preferably in pharma retail, healthcare distribution, or FMCG retail.
  • Strong skills in data analysis, forecasting, and inventory modeling.
  • Proficiency in ERP systems and advanced Excel/Power BI (SQL/Python/R a plus).
  • Understanding of pharma retail compliance (expiry, batch management, FEFO) is desirable.

Success Measures:

  • Accuracy of replenishment norms and models.
  • Stock availability at pharmacies (% fill rate, stock-out rate).
  • Inventory turnover vs. expiry losses.
  • Adherence to replenishment norms by country operations teams.
  • Improvement in forecasting accuracy and working capital efficiency.

This position is based in an office environment with occasional travel to manufacturing sites, suppliers, and other locations as required.

The role may require extended hours during peak periods or in response to urgent supply chain issues.
