This candidate offers 13 years of experience as a Supply Chain Planner, primarily within pharmaceuticals. Their recent work has included reviewing stock levels, forecasting demand and analysing supply risks, with regular responsibility for inventory management and stakeholder coordination. They are comfortable using ERP systems, SAP and Oracle, 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 reduced stockouts, while they also contributed to initiatives that improved supplier planning. 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 forecasting and supply planning, 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, a role with clearer development pathways 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.
