Space and Assortment Consultant
The Supply Chain Company (SCC) | Partner of RELEX Solutions
Location: Leeds, UK (Hybrid working)
You know what a good planogram looks like. Now help retailers produce thousands of them automatically, built on their own sales, stock and store data. SCC is growing its RELEX merchandising practice, and we're hiring a Space and Assortment Consultant to help retailers decide what goes on the shelf, where it goes and why.
About SCC
The Supply Chain Company is a supply chain consultancy and RELEX Solutions partner. We work with retail, consumer goods and manufacturing businesses to improve planning, availability and day-to-day performance.
Your role
You'll implement RELEX Space and Assortment planning for our clients, from the first workshop through go-live and beyond. You'll own your workstream, work directly with space, category and store teams, and turn their ranging and layout decisions into rules RELEX applies across every store. Because RELEX links space to forecasting and replenishment, you'll also see how a shelf decision shows up in availability and stock. Many of our clients use RELEX across their wider planning, so you'll have the chance to build expertise in other parts of the platform as your career develops.

- Train planners and category managers, and support them after launch so the new process sticks
