Based in the Hampshire office, this role is responsible for developing accurate demand forecasts, aligning inventory with production capacity, and supporting resilient, customer-focused operations. This is a highly collaborative, cross-functional role that works closely with Sales, Business Verticals, and Operations to ensure demand plans reflect real market conditions, customer insights, and strategic objectives.

• Aligning demand plans with production schedules and inventory strategies to optimise service levels and working capital.
• Supporting S&OP processes and meetings, providing clear insights into risks and opportunities.
• Identifying and communicating potential risks and opportunities within demand plans to key stakeholders.
