With 5 years in FMCG, this candidate has built a solid background as a Supply Chain Planner. Their recent work has included planning inventory, analysing supply risks and forecasting demand, with regular responsibility for inventory management and stakeholder coordination. They are comfortable using ERP systems, Oracle and SAP, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as organised, calm and dependable, 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 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 data analysis and demand planning, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to pharmaceuticals, 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 value stability, professional standards and a workplace where people follow through on commitments. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
