Material Planner
Lucid Motors is seeking a motivated and experienced Material Planner to join the European Service Parts organization (After-Sales). This role ensures continuous availability of service parts, components, and materials required to support European operations. The ideal candidate understands end-to-end supply chain processes, can manage multiple suppliers and commodities, and is highly proactive in preventing material shortages while maintaining cost-efficient inventory levels. The Material Planner will deploy inventory strategies, be responsible for product changes and associated material planning implications, manage and solve exceptions, and drive supplier execution.
Key responsibilities include developing short-, mid-, and long-term supply plans to support service demand, new product introductions, and engineering changes. The role involves translating demand signals into material requirements and aligning forecasts, inventory levels, and replenishment strategies. Managing planning, ordering, and replenishment of service parts and materials for European service operations is essential. The Material Planner will serve as the primary operational contact for suppliers—overseeing order status, delivery confirmations, issue resolution, and escalations. Collaboration with global and regional teams (Demand Planning, Logistics, GSM, Engineering, Warehousing, Distribution) is crucial to ensure supply continuity and support business objectives.
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business, or related fields, with 3–5 years of experience in material planning, supply planning, or a similar operational planning role (aftersales or automotive experience preferred). A strong understanding of MRP/ERP systems and supply chain fundamentals is required. Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn data into actionable insights, are essential. Experience managing suppliers and resolving operational issues is important. The candidate should have the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple tasks, along with strong communication and collaboration skills across internal teams and suppliers. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and ERP platforms is necessary; APICS/CPIM certification is a plus.
Lucid Motors offers a wide range of competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, vacation, and 401k. The successful candidate may also be eligible to participate in Lucid’s equity program and/or a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing such programs. Compensation details will depend on various factors, including individual and company performance.
