Demand Planner / Cusstomer

We are partnering with a fast-growing consumer brands business to appoint an experienced Demand Planner to take ownership of forecasting and inventory planning across an exciting portfolio of brands.
This is not simply a data administration role. We are looking for a commercially minded planner who can interpret the numbers, challenge assumptions and help the business make better decisions around stock, launches and working capital.
You will:
- Own forecasting across multiple brands and SKUs
- Build demand plans using sales history, seasonality, customer insight and commercial activity
- Partner with commercial teams on new launches, promotions, listings and discontinuations
- Monitor forecast accuracy, bias, stock cover, availability and excess inventory
- Produce replenishment and purchase recommendations
- Identify potential out-of-stocks, backorders and slow-moving stock before they become an issue
- Support cash-flow and working-capital planning
- Help improve planning systems, processes and automation
We are looking for someone with demand planning, forecasting, replenishment or inventory experience gained within beauty, FMCG, retail, wholesale, distribution or another fast-moving consumer environment.
You will be highly analytical, commercially curious and confident enough to challenge the numbers rather than simply report them.
A great opportunity to join a growing business where you can have genuine influence over how the planning function develops.
