• Drive continuous improvement through analysis and smarter ways of working

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 3+ years’ experience in supply planning, ideally within an import-led supply chain

• A degree or diploma in Supply Planning, Operations, or a related discipline is preferred.

• Experience using non-Excel planning tools (e.g. FuturMaster)

• Strong analytical skills and a data-driven mindset

• Solid understanding of inventory management, S&OP, and KPIs

• Confidence working in cross-functional, customer-facing environments

• Advanced Excel skills and experience with Power BI dashboards

• A collaborative, proactive, and solutions-focused approach
