An experienced Supply Chain Planner, this candidate brings 5 years of experience gained in manufacturing. Their recent work has included planning inventory, reviewing stock levels and analysing supply risks, with regular responsibility for demand planning and stakeholder coordination. They are comfortable using ERP systems, Power BI and SAP, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as collaborative, approachable and well organised, 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 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 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 FMCG, 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, a business with strong leadership is an important consideration. They are comfortable working in the office and are also open to a balanced hybrid arrangement. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
