This Supply Chain Planner has 5 years of hands-on experience working across FMCG environments. Their recent work has included reviewing stock levels, analysing supply risks and forecasting demand, with regular responsibility for data analysis and demand planning. They are comfortable using Excel, Oracle and Power BI, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as commercially minded, proactive and solutions focused, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that improved supplier planning, 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 supply planning and stakeholder coordination, 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 a position with clear development opportunities. In their next move, work that offers more visible impact is an important consideration. They value a supportive manager, clear priorities and a team that communicates well. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
