Business Intelligence Analyst (in SaudiArabia)

We at Prince India are looking to hire a BI and AI Analyst for our client in SaudiArabia.

Work location: onsite, Riyadh, SaudiArabia

We are looking for a planning leader who can turn data into availability and availability into growth. You will own the end-to-end planning cycle — from demand forecasting to supply execution to the dashboards and AI models that drive smarter decisions — and you'll build and lead a small, high-calibre planning and BI team to do it.

This is a rare chance to design an integrated planning function from the ground up at a fast- growing premium brand, working directly with the CEO and every commercial and operational leader in the business.

Responsibilities

Demand planning & forecasting

Build the rolling demand forecast across all categories, channels, and regions — finished goods

through to raw materials and packaging — incorporating seasonality, promotions, launches, and

the Kingdom's key commercial peaks (Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, National Day, Back-to-School).

Translate sales forecasts into procurement and production requirements, and relentlessly

improve forecast accuracy and bias at SKU, channel, and store level.

Supply planning, inventory & Open-to-Buy (OTB)

Convert demand into integrated supply plans spanning procurement, production, warehousing,

and distribution. Build and manage the Open-to-Buy (OTB) plan by category, channel, and season — translating the sales and margin plan into purchase and production budgets that govern inventory investment, protect working capital, and keep buying aligned to demand.

Set and maintain replenishment logic (rate of sale, min/max, safety stock, reorder points, coverage

targets) across stores, distribution centres, and factories — protecting availability while minimizing waste, obsolescence, and stock tied up in working capital. Identify supply risks and capacity constraints early and own the mitigation plan.

Product portfolio & launches

Prioritize hero SKUs and strategic lines within the plan, run critical-path planning for seasonal

collections, and lead supply readiness for new launches. Spot emerging winners fast and feed

assortment and SKU-rationalization decisions.

Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)

Build and run the monthly S&OP cycle, aligning Commercial, Marketing, Retail, Operations,

Procurement, Manufacturing, Finance, and IT around one integrated plan — surfacing risks,

trade-offs, and scenarios for executive decisions.

Business intelligence & AI analytics

Design the automated dashboards and metrics that give the business a single source of truth on

forecast accuracy, inventory health, service levels, waste, and product performance. Identify and

deploy AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics — demand sensing, stock-risk detection,

replenishment optimization — and partner with IT to drive the wider digital transformation.

KPIs

Forecast accuracy · product availability and fill rate · stock-out rate · inventory days on hand and

obsolescence · inventory investment vs. OTB plan · raw material and packaging coverage ·

waste and write-off reduction · hero-SKU availability · new-product forecast accuracy · reporting

automation.
