This will include elimination of manual data handling, routine reporting, and human intervention across supply chain and other departments' workflows. By orchestrating data workflows, and deploying self-refreshing dashboards, this role turns disparate operational data into real-time, trusted insights. Ultimately, the position accelerates decision-making speed, ensures high reporting accuracy, and enables operational teams to focus on strategic execution rather than manual administrative tasks.

- Dashboard & KPI Development: Build, maintain, and automate reporting dashboards (using tools like Power BI, Tableau, or advanced Excel) to track vital metrics such as inventory turnover, lead times, and delivery performance.
- Master Data Management: Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and governance across supply chain systems, including Bill of Materials (BOM) maintenance and item attributes where applicable
Requirements
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Systems, or Data Analytics.
- Hands-on project experience building interactive reports in Power BI, and Excel.
