This program emphasizes ownership and learning alongside experienced professionals within the company, with this specific role, the AI Automation Fellow – Supply Chain, based in Riyadh.

The AI Automation Fellow – Supply Chain Role

As an AI Automation Fellow specializing in Supply Chain, you will join Calo's AI & Automation Track. This role focuses on transforming critical aspects of Calo's supply chain operations, which encompass forecasting, inventory, purchasing, and general operations. Your primary mission will be to identify manual and repetitive processes within the supply chain and develop AI-powered solutions to enhance speed, accuracy, and overall efficiency. This involves reimagining existing processes rather than merely maintaining them, with the goal of building systems that become integral to Calo's operational framework.

• Design and build practical solutions to streamline day-to-day supply chain operations.
• Develop automation tools for inventory management, purchasing workflows, reporting, and operational planning.
• Collaborate with Supply Chain stakeholders to understand operational challenges and translate them into scalable solutions.
• Test, improve, and continuously iterate on developed systems.
• Present work, insights, and outcomes to leadership throughout the Fellowship program.

Applications are welcomed from recent high school or university graduates, and candidates with limited to no professional experience. While the Fellowship can be completed in a hybrid setup for applicants based in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (including Riyadh), the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, or Oman, exceptional candidates from anywhere globally are also encouraged to apply for a remote arrangement. Proficiency in English, Arabic, or bilingualism is accepted.
