An experienced Supply Chain Planner, this candidate brings 18 years of experience gained in consumer goods. Their recent work has included coordinating suppliers, forecasting demand and analysing supply risks, with regular responsibility for stakeholder coordination and demand 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 self-directed while still enjoying team collaboration, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that lowered excess inventory, while they also contributed to initiatives that improved forecast accuracy. 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 FMCG, 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 role with clearer development pathways 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.
