More than a job: a mission

We’re looking for a Material Planner to supply the production line that builds the future of mobility in Central Asia.

• Identifying priorities, setting up recovery actions, and organizing regular reviews with suppliers to monitor delivery performance

• Managing MRP exception messages and anticipating supply problems

• Resolving Goods Receipts issues and following up on non-conformities with Procurement Officers

• Communicating OTIF (On-Time In-Full) results with suppliers and driving improvement

You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across procurement, quality, and logistics — solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

• Upper-intermediate English or higher

• Excel skills/SAP systems knowledge

• Knowledge of the conditions and requirements specified in Incoterms (International Commercial Terms)
