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
