This candidate offers 6 years of experience as a Supply Chain Planner, primarily within wholesale. Their recent work has included forecasting demand, analysing supply risks and planning inventory, with regular responsibility for supply planning and inventory management. They are comfortable using Oracle, Excel and ERP systems, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as practical, detail-focused and responsive, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that strengthened supply visibility, while they also contributed to initiatives that reduced stockouts. 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 data analysis and forecasting, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to consumer goods, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for an opportunity to contribute to a growing business. In their next move, work that offers more visible impact is an important consideration. They are open to hybrid working where the role allows it and value clear expectations around performance. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
