About The Role
We’re excited to be recruiting for a newly created Supply Chain Planning Lead role within our Central Planning team at Pilgrim’s Europe.
This is a high-impact, office-based role in Uxbridge — aligned to Pilgrim’s Europe way of working, where collaboration, visibility, and cross-functional partnership help drive faster decision-making, stronger development, and better business results.
The role will focus on developing robust, data-driven supply plans across our food manufacturing network — balancing service, cost, capacity, inventory, and operational performance.
You’ll work cross-functionally with operations, logistics, agriculture, procurement, finance, and planning teams to drive smarter decision-making through optimisation tools, scenario modelling, and continuous improvement initiatives.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex supply chain challenges, influencing stakeholders, and operating in a fast-paced FMCG environment.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Run scenario analysis to support operational and strategic decision-making
- Translate business data into clear planning assumptions and actionable insights
- Support S&OP, S&OE, and long-term planning cycles
- Improve planning processes, KPI tracking, and data quality across the network
- Collaborate closely with factories, logistics, agriculture, procurement, and finance teams
- Communicate risks, constraints, and planning recommendations to stakeholders at all levels
- Drive continuous improvement across supply chain planning systems and processes
