As a Demand Planner, you’ll be the go-to person for delivering accurate product forecasts, ensuring commercial plans translate into supply chain efficiency across the UK market.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with commercial teams to integrate customer insights, promotions, and new product plans into the forecast.
• Analyse forecast performance vs actuals and recommend adjustments to improve accuracy.
• Lead and facilitate monthly demand planning and S&OP meetings.
• Provide insights into slow-moving stock and write-off risks to support decision-making.
• Collaborate with supply planning to optimise inventory levels and ensure availability.

What We’re Looking For

• Essential: 2+ years of demand planning or forecasting experience within FMCG (personal care, cosmetics, food, or pharma ideal).
• Strong Excel skills (PowerQuery, PowerPivot, VBA a plus).
• Experience with SAP IBP or similar demand planning systems.
• Confident communicator with the ability to engage stakeholders across teams.
• Comfortable working independently and managing shifting priorities in a high-growth business.
