- Who we're looking for
- You'll ideally have 3–5 years' experience within Supply Chain Planning, Supply Planning or Production Planning in FMCG, food & drink or another fast-moving consumer business.
- More importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys solving problems, building strong supplier relationships and thinking commercially, not just operationally.
