Job Details

About You
If I were to ask you to write reasons why you’d be good for the role then you’d have down something similar to this:
  • Demand planning experience in the FMCG industry.
  • Doesn’t shy away from creating forecasts on Excel.
  • Loves interacting with customers (retail).
  • Enjoys analysing data and reporting to various stakeholders.
We do, however, forget a million other reasons why we’re good at what we do. There will be other traits you have which I know are right for the role too, so please feel free to not reply.
 
Your New Role
You’ll be responsible for working closely with the commercial team to create accurate demand forecasts across their entire customer market. You’ll be joining a market leading business who have grown exponentially in recent years, with an exciting, well-known portfolio.
The majority of the role will be focused on Demand Planning. However, you will also be working closely with customers and the commercial teams to update forecasts based on promotions, seasonal changes and NPD launches.
 You may be able to add a few more points as to why you’d be good for the role at this stage.
 
What Success Looks
You’ll pass your probationary period, that’ll be a good start. But other than that, you’ll be agile and show entrepreneurial spirit to grow with the business and see a team of demand planners growing around you.
Another bonus would be to see your forecasts coming in accurately and receiving positive feedback from customers and account managers. It also means you’ll hit your targets which does 0 harm to your yearly bonus.
I’m ready for that list when you are.
