Job Overview

About The Role

We’ve on the lookout for a Demand Planner to join our fast moving Supply Chain team here at AO. If you love data, numbers, problem solving, and making things run like clockwork, you’ll fit right in.

As our new Demand Planner, you’ll take full ownership of a key category in our MDA area. You’ll be the person making sure we’ve always got the right products at the right time. You’ll dive into the numbers, spot trends early, and use your insight to shape accurate, confident forecasts. And because strong relationships are a big part of how we work, you’ll collaborate closely with teams across AO, as well as our suppliers and partners, to keep communications clear and our stock flowing smoothly.

And because we’re big believers in helping our people grow, you’ll have loads of opportunity to develop. Whether you want to level up your technical expertise, build on your Supply Chain know how, or take on new challenges across the business, your development is important.

Our people are our superpower, and we’re unstoppable when we’re together! We want your ideas to flow, and what better way to make that happen than being based onsite, 5 days a week, where our culture fuels creativity, collaboration and growth. If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UKs most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we’re together
