• Support new product launches, range reviews and promotional planning to ensure the right stock is available at the right time.
• Manage seasonal and end-of-line stock, identifying risks and implementing actions to minimise excess inventory.
• Review and optimise planning parameters including lead times, order quantities and order frequency.
• Build strong relationships with suppliers to improve service, responsiveness and overall supply chain performance.
• Monitor supplier performance against agreed KPIs and support supply reviews to align supply with demand.
• Work closely with Distribution Centres to ensure efficient stock flow and effective management of RTVs.
• Drive high levels of on-shelf availability while maintaining appropriate stock cover and supporting business plan objectives.

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.
