Framptons is looking for a Demand & Customer Service Manager to join our team in Shepton Mallet and take ownership of a newly created role at the heart of our customer demand, forecasting and service performance processes.
With more than 125 years of manufacturing heritage, Framptons is one of the UK’s largest producers of plant-based drinks. As we continue to develop our planning capability, customer partnerships and supply chain maturity, this role will be central to improving how we forecast demand, understand service performance and make joined-up commercial and operational decisions.

You will work closely with customers, Commercial, Operations, Planning, Customer Service, Finance and the Senior Management team to create a clearer view of demand, risks, opportunities, inventory requirements and future service expectations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you will be doing
- Owning the final agreed sales forecast across all customers and product categories.
- Working directly with customers to improve forecast quality, visibility and service performance.
- Identifying demand risks, customer changes, promotions, NPD requirements and supply constraints early.
- Developing consistent reporting for forecast accuracy, forecast bias, service KPIs and inventory trends.
- Helping establish structured monthly demand reviews and the demand side of the S&OP process.
- Partnering with Operations and Planning to align demand with capacity, production plans, lead times and finished goods stock policies.
- Supporting inventory optimisation without compromising customer service.
- Improving forecasting tools, reporting standards, data quality and planning governance.
What you will bring
- Experience in demand planning, customer supply chain, S&OP, commercial planning or a similar role.
- Strong customer-facing confidence and the ability to build collaborative working relationships.
- A clear, evidence-based approach to challenging assumptions and improving ways of working.
- Strong analytical and numerical ability, with advanced Excel skills.
- Experience in FMCG, food, drink or consumer products environments would be highly beneficial.
- Knowledge of service and planning measures such as OTIF, customer fill rate, forecast accuracy, forecast bias and stock cover.
- The ability to influence across functions and build accountability without relying on direct authority.
- A proactive, organised and resilient style, comfortable building processes from an immature starting point.

Why this role matters
This is not a maintenance role — it is a chance to build something. You will help shape the foundations of a more mature supply chain function, improve customer conversations, strengthen forecast confidence and give the business clearer insight into the decisions that affect service, stock, cost and growth.
