About You – What You’ll Bring To The Role
We're looking for someone with experience in supply planning, demand forecasting, or inventory management within a retail, FMCG, or consumer goods environment. You'll be a strong analytical thinker who enjoys solving problems, working with data, and making informed decisions to balance customer demand with stock availability. Experience using forecasting or planning systems, such as Relex, will be important, alongside the ability to build strong relationships and communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders. You'll be comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment, adapting quickly to changing priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. Knowledge of Relex, or a similar supply chain planning solution, would be advantageous.
