An experienced Supply Chain Planner, this candidate brings 13 years of experience gained in wholesale. Their recent work has included analysing supply risks, coordinating suppliers and planning inventory, with regular responsibility for inventory management and demand planning. They are comfortable using Excel, SAP 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 reduced stockouts, 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 data analysis and forecasting, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to FMCG, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a contract role with meaningful project work. In their next move, greater ownership of their work is an important consideration. They are comfortable in busy environments and prefer roles where priorities are communicated clearly. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
