• Partner closely with internal teams such as Finance and Sustainability to drive data-led decisions that align with the brand’s values and growth ambitions.
• Develop a supply planning function (data, systems and processes) that creates the environment for the business to grow and deliver best in class collaboration internally and externally.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Must have supply planning experience in FMCG food or drink.

• Super organised and methodical in your approach
