This candidate offers 4 years of experience as a Supply Chain Planner, primarily within manufacturing. Their recent work has included coordinating suppliers, analysing supply risks and reviewing stock levels, with regular responsibility for stakeholder coordination and demand planning. They are comfortable using ERP systems, SAP and Power BI, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as collaborative, approachable and well organised, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that improved forecast accuracy, 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 retail, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a contract role with meaningful project work. In their next move, a stronger team environment is an important consideration. They are comfortable working in the office and are also open to a balanced hybrid arrangement. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
