We are currently recruiting for a Group Supply Chain Planner to join a dynamic, growing SME with an international footprint and a supply chain that's entering an exciting phase of development and transformation.

The business operates globally, with international suppliers and contract manufacturers and is in need of someone with the experience, resilience, and collaborative approach to drive change.

Role Summary:

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a broad and impactful supply chain role within a growing international SME. As Group Supply Chain Planner, you’ll act as the key link between global commercial teams and the supply chain hub in Asia—driving alignment, improving performance, and helping to shape a supply chain transformation that supports future growth and expansion.

You’ll play a hands-on role in strengthening end-to-end supply chain processes, supporting a new ERP implementation, and enabling smarter, more scalable ways of working across the business.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Lead end-to-end planning: demand, supply, and inventory

  • Implement structured forecasting and inventory processes (MTS & MTO)

  • Partner cross-functionally across commercial, supply, finance & innovation

  • Support new product launches and lifecycle transitions

  • Improve planning systems, data integrity, and supply chain reporting/KPI's

  • Identify risks, propose solutions, and challenge the status quo when needed

    Who this is for:

    ✔ 3-5 years in supply chain/demand/supply/inventory planning

    ✔ Background in FMCG or similarly fast-paced environments

    ✔ Experience with international supply chains, CMOs and ideally freight

    ✔ Strong collaborator who can build alignment and drive improvement

    ✔ Hands-on, analytical, and confident navigating evolving processes

    ✔ Experience with ERP systems (implementation or usage) is a strong advantage

    ✔ Comfortable influencing stakeholders and contributing to strategic decisions

    This is a fantastic opportunity to shape supply chain processes at a foundational level and contribute meaningfully to a major systems transformation.

    If you’re ready to take on an exciting challenge and want to be part of a company that’s making an impact in the industry, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
