Overview

About the team Careem Grocery is reinventing how people shop for groceries, pharmacy, and everyday essentials, on-demand, in minutes.

We're a startup within a startup: a small, high-conviction team operating at speed, with real ownership over outcomes.

We're building the supply chain infrastructure that makes that promise possible, and we're looking for someone to own the demand side of it.

About the role This is a senior individual contributor and cross-functional leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable writing a SQL query, challenging a commercial team's promo forecast, and presenting supply risk to a VP.

You'll own demand planning end-to-end; from statistical modelling to S&OP facilitation and you'll be expected to build and improve the systems, not just run them.

What You'Ll Do

  • Forecasting & Modelling - Build and maintain demand forecasting models across SKUs, categories, and dark store locations. Go beyond Excel leverage statistical methods (time series, regression, ML-assisted forecasting) and own the tooling decisions that get us there. You should be comfortable pulling your own data in SQL and sense-checking model outputs against ground truth.
  • Demand Variability & Scenario Planning - Develop frameworks to manage volatility from seasonality, promotions, new product launches, and macroeconomic signals. Run scenario models before they become supply crises.
  • S&OP Process Leadership - Own the weekly and monthly S&OP cadence. Facilitate cross-functional alignment across commercial, ops, and logistics. Surface gaps early, propose solutions, and drive decisions, not just document them.
  • Inventory Optimisation - Set and monitor inventory targets by SKU and location to balance availability against holding cost and waste. Work closely with category and logistics teams to design replenishment logic that performs at quick commerce speed.
  • Data & Tooling- You'll be hands-on with data. Write and maintain SQL queries for demand signals, build dashboards that non-technical stakeholders can act on, and explore AI/ML tooling to improve forecast accuracy. If a process can be automated, you'll be the one to build the case and execute it.
  • Insight & Communication - Translate complex demand signals into clear narratives for senior leadership. Forecast updates, variance analysis, risk flags you own the story and the numbers behind it.
