About the Company



Our client is committed to delivering high-quality products and supply into all UK retailers. Part of an international group and a leader in their field, they’re a values-driven business with a focus on innovation and collaboration.



About the Role



As Inventory Planner, you’ll be optimising inventory levels and working to ensure product availability. You’ll develop and refine tools for inventory management, collaborate with key teams, and use data-driven insights to make informed decisions and minimise any potential risks to supply.



Some of your key responsibilities will include:



* Developing and refining tools and processes to analyse and manage inventory.

* A solid understanding of inventory management, production planning, and overall supply chain processes.



* Able to communicate complex data clearly and make decisions based on insights.



* A collaborative, solution-driven mindset with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels.
