This candidate is a capable Supply Chain Planner with 4 years of experience across FMCG. Their recent work has included coordinating suppliers, reviewing stock levels and planning inventory, with regular responsibility for demand planning and supply planning. They are comfortable using Oracle, Excel and Power BI, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as adaptable, hands-on and comfortable with change, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that improved supplier planning, while they also contributed to initiatives that lowered excess inventory. They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in inventory management and data analysis, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to manufacturing, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a permanent full-time opportunity. In their next move, more exposure to complex work is an important consideration. They value a supportive manager, clear priorities and a team that communicates well. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
