About the role
We are hiring for an exciting role that forms a key part of our Supply Chain Team. Reporting to the Supply Chain Coordinator, you will work closely with a variety of internal and external stakeholders to deliver a robust short-term demand forecast to our planning team. You will also have a leading role in our S&OP process, helping to generate accurate projections that inform the business’s long-term planning and strategic goals.
Responsibilities
* Generation and ownership of demand forecasts – using both historical data, seasonal trends, and sales intelligence – to deliver an accurate, assumption-based plan.
* Delivery of a highly detailed short-term horizon forecast for production scheduling, updated daily.
* Preparation of fact-based analysis of forecast performance and month on month changes, for weekly and monthly reviews.
* Work collaboratively with Sales and Retail colleagues, as per the S&OP process, to align the company on a single sales forecast.
* Utilise your analysis of trends, sales cycles, and market analysis to provide key demand input into the new product development, sign off and launch process.
* Liaise with our largest customers to drive a collaborative forecasting approach to smooth out unnecessary demand fluctuations.

About you
* You will have a high degree of competency with Microsoft Excel. Experience with Power BI is also advantageous.
* You will have a demonstrable track record of Demand Planning (ideally in FMCG) and a firm understanding of the S&OP process.
* You will be comfortable with managing various internal and external stakeholders across multiple business functions. This includes being a key point of contact with your supply chain counterparts at the supermarkets, with an emphasis on building and developing relationships to ensure effective collaboration.
* You will have the confidence to challenge customer forecasts, with the ability to clearly and transparently communicate the outcomes of your analysis.
* With excellent analytical and reasoning abilities you will be numbers driven with a passion for data analytics and pulling signal from the noise using a facts-based approach.
* With wider end to end Supply Chain experience, you will understand the importance of forecast accuracy and the adverse implications to wider business operations if this isn’t consistently achieved.
