Distributor Inventory Management Associate Manager - VMI/CMI

📍 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

• 🏢 Nestlé KSA
• 🍫 FMCG / Food & Beverage
• Full-time On-site
  
  

The Context

Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company, is looking for an Associate Manager to own the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Customer Managed Inventory (CMI) replenishment function for its KSA Head Office in Jeddah. The role serves as the primary point of contact for VMI/CMI customers, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and agreed service levels across the end-to-end customer replenishment process.

What The Role Covers

VMI/CMI Replenishment Management

You generate optimized replenishment orders in Nestlé or customer VMI/CMI systems, balancing inventory and service goals using sales history, forecasts, and stock availability data from both Nestlé and customer DCs. You manage the VMI technical solution including data maintenance and system alignment between Nestlé and customer platforms.

Proactive Analytics & Demand Planning

You conduct proactive data analytics on customer behavior trends and out-of-stock risks, leveraging advanced planning, forecasting, and replenishment techniques to drive sales and inventory levels at customer distribution centers. You incorporate inputs from Demand & Supply Planning, Sales, Customer, and Service Strategy teams into your replenishment decisions.

Customer Engagement & Issue Resolution

You serve as the primary advocate for VMI/CMI customers, professionally engaging to resolve stock replenishment issues and ensuring right and timely information is available for customer stock management activities. You execute strategies from the Operational Demand & Supply Review (OpsDSR) to ensure stock allocation based on business and customer prioritization.

Distribution Cost Optimization

You collaborate with Physical Logistics, Demand and Supply Planning, Transportation, and Supply Chain Analytics to optimize distribution costs across the replenishment network. You maintain network inputs including lead times, delivery expectations, and new product introduction parameters.

Candidate Profile

• University degree required
• 2-4 years of operational experience in order fulfillment, VMI/CMI, or supply chain roles in a similar market environment
• Experience working with or for a customer in a collaborative VMI/CMI environment is a strong plus
• Knowledge of supply chain E2E processes, customer service best practices, and logistics processes including materials handling and transport optimization
• Understanding of demand, supply chain, and finance processes for pricing
• Experience in supply chain improvement projects is beneficial
  
  

Why This Role Stands Out - Supply Tech Nexus Take

Nestlé is the gold standard in FMCG supply chain sophistication globally, and a VMI/CMI-focused role at the KSA Head Office gives you direct exposure to one of the most advanced customer collaboration models in the industry. VMI expertise is increasingly in demand across the GCC as major retailers and distributors push for more collaborative replenishment frameworks - making this a skill set with strong market value beyond Nestlé itself. For early-to-mid career supply chain professionals looking to specialize in customer inventory management within a world-class FMCG environment, Jeddah is an underrated market where competition is lower than Dubai for equivalent roles.

Salary Benchmark - KSA Market (2024/2025)

For an Associate Manager with 2-4 years of VMI/CMI or supply chain experience, based in Jeddah:

• Base salary: SAR 12,000 - 20,000/month
  
  

Nestlé KSA packages typically include housing allowance, medical coverage, and performance bonus - making the total compensation meaningfully higher than the base figure alone.
