## Description

Diageo is seeking a Materials Scheduler & Analyst – Bulk Liquids & Ingredients to join their team in Montgomery, Alabama. The successful candidate will be responsible for translating supply requirements into executable material schedules across Diageo's North America supply network, with a focus on bulk liquids, ingredients, and other critical production inputs.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Material scheduling & execution: Translate production plans, forecasts, and replenishment requirements into executable schedules for bulk liquids, ingredients, and assigned materials.

- Maintain material requirements and supply signals in SAP and OMP, ensuring they accurately reflect the latest production plan.

- Review material availability against planned production and proactively identify shortages, excesses, timing gaps, and other constraints.

- Expedite, defer, or reschedule material movements to maintain supply continuity while managing inventory appropriately.

- Monitor purchase orders, stock transfer orders, planned/process orders, and other supply elements, driving exceptions through resolution.

- Coordinate inter-site material movements, ensuring requirements are aligned across sending and receiving locations.

**Bulk Liquids & Ingredient Planning:**

- Maintain short- and medium-term visibility of bulk liquid and ingredient requirements across assigned locations.

- Translate finished goods production requirements into corresponding bulk liquid and ingredient demand.

- Coordinate with liquid planning, processing, manufacturing, and logistics teams to confirm availability and timing.

- Support monthly/quarterly Bulk Best Plan processes, consolidating requirements, identifying gaps, and ensuring future demand is appropriately represented in planning systems.

- Identify potential material availability, lead-time, transportation, tank-capacity, aging, or receiving constraints that could affect production.

**Inventory & Exception Management:**

- Monitor inventory, projected coverage, and consumption against plan and identify potential shortages, excesses, or abnormal movements.

- Investigate material discrepancies through SAP transactions, orders, receipts, issues, transfers, and inventory records.

- Partner with Manufacturing, Warehouse, and Materials teams to resolve transactional or physical inventory discrepancies affecting planning.

- Use MRP and planning-system exceptions to prioritize actions and distinguish genuine supply constraints from planning, master-data, or inventory-record issues.

- Support inventory health by balancing material availability with excess, aging, and obsolescence risk.

**Analytics, Digital & Continuous Improvement:**

- Analyze demand, supply, inventory, and material movements to identify emerging risks and opportunities.

- Develop exception reporting and analytical tools to improve visibility of shortages, late receipts, supply gaps, and inventory risks.

- Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards and digital planning solutions that convert complex planning and operational data into actionable insights.

- Use Power Query, data modeling, Excel, and automation to simplify reporting, improve data quality, and reduce manual planning activity.

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, Business, Logistics, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent relevant experience will also be considered.

- Experience in materials planning, supply planning, production scheduling, inventory management, logistics, or manufacturing operations.

- Demonstrated hands-on experience with SAP MRP and materials planning, including material requirements, inventory, purchase orders, stock transfer orders, planned/process orders, and exception management.

- Strong analytical capability and experience working with complex planning, inventory, and production data.

- Strong Excel capability; experience developing Power BI or comparable business-intelligence solutions strongly preferred.
