Take full ownership of short‑term planning performance and outcomes

What We're Looking For

Strong experience in warehouse or operational planning within logistics or distribution
Good understanding of warehouse flow, labour planning, capacity and space
Confident user of WMS, ERP or planning systems
Comfortable in fast‑moving, changeable environments
A practical, delivery‑focused approach rather than theoretical planning

Ideal Candidate Profile

Operationally minded and commercially aware
Experience in Warehouse Planning
Clear communicator who can make decisions when constraints compete
Structured but pragmatic-keeps things simple and workable
Calm under pressure, particularly during peak periods
Collaborative, with the credibility to influence operational teams
