This candidate offers 6 years of experience as a Supply Chain Planner, primarily within consumer goods. Their recent work has included reviewing stock levels, planning inventory and forecasting demand, with regular responsibility for stakeholder coordination and inventory management. They are comfortable using Power BI, SAP and Excel, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as adaptable, hands-on and comfortable with change, 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 strengthened supply visibility. 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 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 retail, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a permanent role in a collaborative team. In their next move, more exposure to complex work is an important consideration. They are open to hybrid working where the role allows it and value clear expectations around performance. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
