This candidate offers 7 years of experience as a Supply Chain Planner, primarily within wholesale. Their recent work has included analysing supply risks, reviewing stock levels and forecasting demand, with regular responsibility for stakeholder coordination and demand planning. They are comfortable using ERP systems, Oracle and Excel, 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 reduced stockouts. 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 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 consumer goods, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a permanent full-time opportunity. In their next move, career progression 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.
