The Managed Dealer Inventory (MDI) team plays a crucial role in optimizing parts availability and inventory levels throughout the DAF dealer network. By combining data-driven insights with strong dealer relationships, MDI helps dealers improve stock availability, increase customer service levels and achieve better inventory performance.

As an MDI Analyst, you will manage inventory optimization and parts availability for more than 60 DAF dealer locations across Europe. You will work directly with dealers, analyze inventory performance, influence strategic decisions and represent the MDI program both internally and externally.

Your responsibilities include:

• Managing inventory optimization and parts availability for a portfolio of DAF dealers across Europe, with a primary focus on Spain and Italy.

• Participating in dealer meetings and presenting MDI topics, performance updates, training sessions and best practices.
• Delivering presentations to both operational stakeholders and senior management teams at dealer organizations.
• Collaborating closely with DAF Sales, local account managers and multiple departments within PACCAR Parts to achieve shared goals.
• Taking ownership of improvement projects focused on inventory optimization, order suggestion quality and departmental efficiency, for example creating a customer satisfaction survey, developing or improving internal and external reports, and automating key internal processes.
