Ideal candidate

This is a really fast paced environment, so you'll need to have experience of working in such an environment.  If you have FMCG experience and knowledge, that would be even better.  You will obviously need to have experience of being a planner and understand the planning process, as well as working with a multiple range of SKUS; both short and long lead time.

In addition, you need to be computer literate, with fantastic Excel skills and experience of ERP systems.  It's imperative that you have a good attention to detail and are an analytical thinker.

You'll be working with a range of suppliers/customers, so you must understand the sales order processing and distribution plans and have excellent customer service skills.
