Supply Planner | Food | Reigate, Surrey
We’re partnering with a well-established food business in Reigate that supplies major UK retailers and brands. As part of a newly shaped Procurement team, they’re looking for a Supply Planner who wants real responsibility and the chance to grow quickly in a fast-paced environment.
The role
You’ll keep products available and stock at the right levels across a busy portfolio. You’ll turn forecasts and customer requirements into purchase orders, stay close to suppliers on production, shipping and delivery dates, and act early when shortages, delays or excess stock start to appear. You’ll report to the Head of Procurement.
What you’ll be doing
- Translating forecasts, customer requirements and lead times into purchase orders, and keeping them accurate and up to date.
- Chasing suppliers to confirm production, shipment and delivery dates, and pushing for recovery plans when dates slip.
- Monitoring stock cover, availability and inbound supply, and recommending action on shortages, excess and slow-moving lines.
- Flagging supply risks early and working with Sales, Operations and Logistics on practical solutions.
- Keeping supplier, order and delivery information accurate in company systems, with a clear audit trail.
- Tracking supplier delivery performance and following up on corrective actions.
- Using data to spot recurring issues and suggest improvements to ordering and stock control.
