That means taking ownership of forecasting across customer, SKU and category level, improving accuracy and bias, understanding promotional uplifts and helping the business get much better at predicting demand around NPD.

You’ll also have the opportunity to improve how demand planning is done.

The business wants someone who can look at its forecasting models, reporting, systems and processes and ask: how can we make this better?

You’ll have the data to do it, using Excel alongside tools including Power BI and ERP systems, but the real value will come from what you do with that information.

Because ultimately, they don’t need somebody who can just produce a spreadsheet. They need somebody who can explain what it means.

Someone commercially minded enough to work closely with Account Managers and major retailers, analytical enough to spot what others miss and confident enough to challenge when the numbers don’t stack up.

You’ll probably already have several years' Demand Planning experience within food, FMCG or another fast-paced consumer environment, with exposure to major UK grocery retailers particularly valuable.

Experience of promotional forecasting, NPD, S&OP and complex product portfolios would all translate well.

Most importantly, you’ll be joining a successful and ambitious food business where Demand Planning has genuine visibility and influence.

You won’t be sitting on the edge of the operation producing reports nobody reads.

You’ll be helping determine what the business makes, what it buys, how it services its customers and where it needs to react next.

If you’re a Demand Planner who wants more ownership, more commercial exposure and the opportunity to genuinely shape how a business forecasts, this is worth a conversation. Apply Below.
