Vendor Replenishment Planner (Coles)

Job Description

Job Description:

At Mars Petcare Australia, we’ve got an exciting opportunity for a Vendor Replenishment Planner (VRP) to join our collaborative and high-performing Supply Chain team.

This is a unique hybrid role based across our Melbourne office and the Coles Head Office, giving you rare, end-to-end exposure to both sides of the customer supply chain.

As the VRP for Coles, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring our products are in the right place, at the right time—maximising availability, service, and efficiency, while keeping costs in check.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partnering with Coles and Mars teams to ensure orders are delivered in full and on time
• Managing daily replenishment and ordering aligned to demand and logistics constraints
• Investigating supply issues and working cross-functionally to resolve root cause
• Producing time-critical daily reports (e.g. DIFOT reporting, service risk outlook)
• Collaborating with National Account Managers on promotions and event planning
• Monitoring stock levels, ageing, and warehouse performance to reduce waste and optimise flow
• Supporting range changes, new product launches, and deletions
• Reviewing forecasts and order plans to ensure seamless supply

What We’re Looking For

• A natural relationship builder who thrives on collaboration
• Strong customer focus—you can balance both Mars and Coles priorities
• Analytical mindset with confidence in data and reporting
• Advanced Microsoft skills (planning systems experience is a bonus)
• A proactive problem solver who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment

Success in this role comes from building strong partnerships, influencing stakeholders, and bringing a solutions-focused mindset every day.
