Supply Planner (for major Global consumer band) – 3 Month Contract - Central London (Hybrid working)
Competitive Day Rate | Immediate Opportunity
I’m working with a major global consumer brand that is looking for an experienced Supply Planner to join the team on an initial 3-month contract.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being at the heart of the supply chain - balancing customer demand, stock availability, inventory levels and inbound supply, while working closely with Sales, Finance, suppliers and global S&OP teams.
You’ll have genuine ownership and visibility across the business, helping ensure the right stock is in the right place at the right time.
What will you be doing?
- Managing supply plans against changing forecasts and customer demand
- Reviewing and adjusting purchase orders and communicating changes to suppliers
- Supporting the S&OP process alongside Demand Planning, Sales and Finance
- Monitoring stock levels, days-on-hand and product availability
- Helping reduce out-of-stocks, slow-moving and excess inventory
- Producing weekly stock reporting and monthly supply dashboards
- Managing purchase orders, supplier call-offs and stock movements
- Supporting inbound logistics and ensuring stock flows smoothly into the UK
- Maintaining accurate inventory and product master data within Oracle
- Working closely with Finance around stock reconciliation and month-end accruals
- Supporting customs, inbound documentation and third-party logistics providers
The role has a really nice blend of supply planning, inventory management, analysis and stakeholder management – so they need someone who can understand the numbers but is equally comfortable communicating across the business.
What are we looking for?
Ideally, you’ll have previous experience within Supply Planning, Inventory Planning, Demand/Supply Planning or a similar supply chain role. Strong Excel skills are important, with Oracle experience particularly useful.
You’ll need to be analytical, organised and comfortable working at pace, with the confidence to take ownership and communicate with multiple stakeholders.
