Raw Material Planner

40 hours per week, usually Monday to Friday

How do you make sure the right flowers arrive at the right time, especially when customer demand changes? It takes great planning and people who can stay one step ahead.

At MM Flowers , we’re looking for a Raw Material Planner to help keep our production teams supplied, our customer orders on track and waste to a minimum. You’ll turn forecasts and orders into clear supplier requirements, monitor stock and deliveries and work with colleagues across the business to respond when plans change.

What you’ll be doing

• Reviewing customer orders, forecasts and production plans to identify what materials we need
• Managing daily and weekly supplier call-offs and tracking incoming deliveries
• Monitoring stock and adjusting plans to prevent shortages and reduce waste
• Spotting supply risks early and working with others to resolve them
• Keeping planning systems accurate and sharing clear stock information
• Working closely with Planning, Procurement, Commercial, Operations and Supply Chain

You’ll also help us prepare for our busiest times of year, including Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Easter and Christmas.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have experience in planning, supply chain, inventory or operations within FMCG, fresh produce, manufacturing or a similarly fast-paced environment. Strong Excel skills, confidence using planning or ERP systems and an eye for detail will help you succeed.

Experience with flowers, horticulture or perishable products would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential. We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with data, building relationships and finding solutions when priorities change.
