A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, ambitious, career-oriented, graduate calibre professional to join a successful, well-established international and market-leading business, on a full time, permanent basis in the Berkshire area as Demand Planning Manager.
Working within the textile sector of this global business, as Demand Planning Manager, you will ultimately lead linen management initiatives across the UK company plant / plants, which at a global level is an investment of several hundred million pounds. You will ensure that customer product availability is maximised, whilst controlling textile spend to ensure the company realises maximum value from their investment in textiles.
This is an exciting, yet challenging role, as it calls for an individual skilled in statistical analysis who can interpret complex data sets, assess customer trends, historical sales and seasonality data to deliver to customer demand in the most efficient way possible. This will be combined with a highly strategic and commercial approach, and an ability to work across multiple departments (sales, account management, customer services, operations) providing meaningful insight from the data from which commercial decisions will be based. Exceptional communication, organisational and inter-personal skills therefore will be required.
You will liaise with senior leadership teams across multiple sites (flexibility to travel around the UK and Ireland 2 days per week will therefore be required) taking co-responsibility for defining a purchasing budget of c£30M-£40M.
Preference will be given to Degree / Master's educated candidates (Business, Supply Chain Management), who possess 5 years' plus commercial experience in a fast paced, service led business. Additional qualifications and / or commitment to continued personal development will also be an advantage.
The business is innovative, successful and can provide a platform for genuine career development. They want to hear from people who are looking for a career (not a job) who are goal / results oriented, resilient and want to push themselves into further senior management. As such, preference will be given to ambitious, career-oriented individuals with personal drive and integrity who are flexible, energetic and hard working.
