About The Role

Looking for a role where your work really matters? Whether you’re a recent graduate with big ambitions or already have some relevant experience under your belt, this role is packed with opportunity. As an Assistant Demand Planner at AO, you’ll help make sure we always have the right stock in the right place, at the right time - so our customers get what they want, when they want it.

You’ll work on one of our biggest and most exciting product categories, supporting our Demand Planners to keep availability strong and everything running like clockwork behind the scenes. From day one, you’ll get hands-on experience in forecasting, planning, and stock management - all while being part of a collaborative, supportive team that loves solving problems and making things happen together.

If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UK's most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we’re together!
