Global Inventory Planner

For Seco Tools and our Sales and Operations Planning department in Fagersta we’re now looking for an analytical, networking and forward-thinking Inventory Analyst. Join us in a very important role with great chances of development – both personally and professionally – where you get to elaborate our work and processes to better meet the overall Net Working Capital targets and customer expectations!
Seco Tools is a worldwide leading supplier of metal cutting solutions including milling, stationary tools, hole making and tooling systems for a diverse mix of customers in automotive, aerospace, power generation, oil & gas, medical, mold & die, construction and agriculture industries. Learn more at (www.secotools.com).
Our tools help build planes, trains, automobiles, and everything else around us. Your phone case? The molds are cut and created by our tools. The lenses in the glasses you wear? Cut by our tools. The golf balls you use? Our tools are in the machines that cut the dimples. Your grandma’s knee replacement? You guessed it - our tools cut and shape that metal. It’s what we do, we’re good at it and proud of it! We make a difference in people’s lives, but we’re not arrogant enough to rest on our laurels or think we have it all figured out. Are you ready to join our team?
Your mission
In this position, you develop an optimized inventory plan for products, product lines and segments based on demand, actual orders, network lead times, available inventory and cost structure. You work hands-on with our finished goods inventory, and you manage the rules and directives on how to control, improve, drive and follow up our inventory performance – all in close collaboration with our commercial organization, logistics planning and other supply chain functions. To be able to fulfill our customers' demands you need to ensure the right amount of finished goods inventory and, at the same time, minimize stock levels and supply chain costs to help us establish a more profitable future. By providing accurate information and reliable data, you identify opportunities to improve our inventory efficiency and you support decision-making regarding our inventory plans.
Some of the keys to success in this role are:
- Ensuring the availability of finished goods with a balanced Net Working Capita
- Analyzing and optimizing inventory
- Setting inventory strategies and act as the operational contact
- Setting requirements towards the Distribution Centre structure
All in all, you’re a major player in creating a strong ownership of our inventory network – a truly important part of our organization to say the least!
Your profile
We’re looking for someone with a university degree in a relevant area, preferably in logistics or industrial economy. You have a few years’ experience from inventory analytics and are an excellent Excel-user. It’s advantageous if you have knowledge of Inventory optimization tools and PowerPoint. Working in a global organization calls for excellent English skills, while knowledge of Swedish is a plus.


To be part of our Seco family, we believe that you’re a true problem solver with a knack for seeing the bigger picture – as well as the minor details. Being independent makes it easy for you to get things done and, at the same time, you’re a strong networker and team player who believes that the best solutions emerges in great collaborations.
