• Provide real-world validation and challenge to forecasting outputs, ensuring spares demand reflects true usage patterns
• Feed high-quality demand signals into the Forecasting Analytics team
• Ensure global models reflect service reality and customer repair behaviour

Optimise Spares Portfolio Structure

• Simplify and optimise the spares portfolio by reducing duplication and managing substitutions
• Own compatibility, interchangeability, and repair logic across clusters
• Ensure the right balance between range breadth, part criticality, and operational efficiency
• Manage complexity to improve serviceability while maintaining high availability

Ensure Data & Listing Excellence (Spares)

• Own data quality and integrity across all spares listings, including compatibility, attributes, and technical accuracy
• Ensure spares are correctly identified, searchable, and easily selectable by customers and service teams
• Support a seamless repair journey through clear and accurate product information

Cross-functional Leadership

• Partner closely with Forecasting Analytics, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Service teams
• Ensure alignment between forecast outputs, repair demand, and availability execution
• Influence engineering and service decisions that impact part demand and serviceability
• Align cluster execution with global frameworks while reflecting local service realities

About You

• Deep understanding of spares demand drivers (fail rates, installed base, repair cycles)
• Commercially aware with strong focus on customer service outcomes and availability
• Proven ability to translate data into decisions and execution
• Comfortable operating in complex, fast-moving environments

Mindset & Approach

• Customer-first mindset, with strong focus on minimising downtime and enabling repair
