• Build strong relationships with suppliers to optimise lead times and reduce supply risks.
• Monitor stock, backorders, and slow-moving items — making smart, data-driven adjustments.
• Lead monthly forecast reviews, challenging assumptions to ensure accuracy.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance planning processes and outcomes.
• Provide trusted support to the Head of Global Supply Chain, including during periods of absence.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Logistics, or related field.
• 3+ years’ experience in demand planning or supply planning along with inventory management, ideally using an advanced planning system.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex data and identify trends.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage suppliers and stakeholders.
• A proactive, detail-focused mindset with resilience under pressure.

Why Join Us?
