This candidate offers 12 years of experience as a Supply Chain Planner, primarily within retail. Their recent work has included analysing supply risks, planning inventory and reviewing stock levels, with regular responsibility for forecasting and data analysis. 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 professional, personable and focused on delivery, 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 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 stakeholder coordination and inventory management, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to manufacturing, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a position with clear development opportunities. In their next move, a role with clearer development pathways is an important consideration. They are open on industry and are primarily focused on finding the right role, manager and team culture. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
