This candidate is a experienced Supply Chain Planner with 8 years of experience across FMCG. Their recent work has included forecasting demand, coordinating suppliers and analysing supply risks, with regular responsibility for stakeholder coordination and inventory management. They are comfortable using Oracle, Excel and SAP, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as clear in communication and confident with stakeholders, 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 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 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 retail, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a structured environment with supportive leadership. In their next move, a business with strong leadership 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.
